I caught my daughter (4yr old) touching her private parts under the blanket. I also caught her using the shower hose and spraying it there. I asked her why and she replied it felt good. What is the best way to teach her about this?

I agree with Chiran and Hui. Children, especially at that age, are really curious. I also understand that you may find it bothersome and alarming, because, as a parent, it's in your nature too. However, divert these negative thoughts into finding rational solutions for this case. Aside from Hui's advise, you can also prevent this from happening again by spending more time with her and try to look into even the tiniest of details. Where does she usually play? Who are her playmates? Was there any instances where she communicated with other people in your neighbourhood? Do these without too much anxiety. It's also a learning process for you as a parent.
