Overcoming sexual abuse can take a lot of patience. Be firm, don't back down on these guidelines. I would also add that he can touch his privates all he wants in a private place. There is a fine line in making sure the child does not go away thinking sex is dirty, but still explaining what is appropriate at his age. Now that you have explained what is appropriate, give him real consequences for disobeying. It is very important to watch him (and have all other child care workers aware so they can watch too) with other children. Other children who have been exposed in this way have a weird way of finding others like them.
There is light at the end of the tunnel. My boys were exposed up to age 2 & 4. They are adopted. Now, at age 11 & 13, they don't even remember that anything ever happened.

Good luck and God bless.
