Suggest Remedies For A Child Masturbating

My daughter 8 y/o 3rd grade was caught by me n my husband rubbing herself started when she was in 2nd grade. It rfally bothers us and we talked to her after I got some info from other parents. I told her it's ok as long she does it privately, I told her to let me know if she feels like doing it si I can help her forget about it. Just few days we caught her doing it again while watching tv and admitted to us that she does it at school in the bathroom and when asked why she do it she says it makes her feels good. I'm scared about this situation pls help me.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
First of all tell her its normal to do what she is doing but it has to be done in the private. Tell her its like bathing or using toilet which we do behind closed doors. Teach her the concept of what things are private but not secret
I hope I have helped you
Thank you
