My 7 year old Male pit bull is trying to hump my 4 year old daughter whom has never done this before. Why is this?

It is likely more a dominance behavior than a sexual one. Consider having him neutered to decrease testosterone levels. In the meantime, when he does it, push him off with a stern "No". Praise and reward him when he complies. If he persists, place him in another room until he settles down.
