4 year old who plays with his penis

My fiancee has a four year old son who visits us every 2nd weekend and every holiday. Of late (the past month or so) he has taken to climbing into his bed at home and at our house and pulling off his shorts and playing with his penis. He also fondles his penis in the bath at home and when he spends time with us. His mother is very distressed by this and has asked his father (my fiancee) to discuss this matter with him. How do we go about doing this without terrifying the boy and making him afraid of his own sexuality. When does this type of behaviour cross the boundry between normal and abnormal?
