What are the harms of girls squeezing their legs?

Many parents do not know that this seemingly strange behavior of children is actually very common. It is a behavior in which babies get excited by rubbing their legs and clamping their legs. It is clinically called "children's clamped leg syndrome." It can appear when the baby is 1 to 2 years old and often occurs in baby girls. The baby's leg-squeezing behavior will last for more than ten minutes, often before going to bed or after waking up, and is characterized by crossing the legs, staring, flushed face, and slight sweating. The child's ideas remain clear, and external changes will affect her.

1. Local irritation: Irritations such as pinworms, wet diapers or tight jeans can cause itching in the private parts, which in turn leads to friction and develops on this basis.

2. Psychological barriers: Some children are emotionally frustrated due to an unstable family atmosphere, lack of maternal love, discrimination, and other emotional deficiencies. They also have no fun with toys, so they seek to vent through self-stimulation, which leads to the leg-squeezing posture.

3. Other reasons: Among older children, the "sexual excitement" caused by watching pornographic videos and reading pornographic books may also be the cause of various bad behaviors such as "leg clamping".

4. Parents stimulate their children's feet and perineum too much, including frequent cleaning and washing.

5. Itching and friction caused by pinworm disease, private eczema or tight jeans.

6. Calcium deficiency causes increased stress sensitivity of the central nervous system.

7. Some children lack maternal love or are discriminated against, are not taken care of emotionally, and vent their emotions through self-stimulation.

8. Children will feel itchy after watching pornographic videos or reading pornographic books, and then rub them again.
