Show and Tell

My 6 yr old boy has pretended to pee on his 4yr brother a couple of times and has even asked him to play with his private parts. This is not a single occurance.  We have talked with him concerning this and told him it is wrong.  Then when I caught him again doing this last month we spoke to him again and punish him.  So tonight almost 2 months after the last incident he was standing upstairs putting his private part between the railings showing his older brother (9).  He will always try to hold his privates and I have not tried to stop this because I don't want him to think his privates is a bad thing but there are limits! It appears that talking and punishing him just are not cutting it.  We have not had this issue with either of his brothers and we are not sure what to think of this.  I am praying that he does not try to do this at school or somewhere else.

  Talking and punishing him  are  cutting it.  He went two months between incidents.  For a 6 year old, thats pretty good.  He is not 9.  Just stay consistent.  It will work.  Also a lot of this seems to be between brothers - showing off as it were.  And this is not uncommon.  They will probably wind up trying to do a lot worse to each other.    
  If it happens again.  say no - give him a time out.  don't make a big deal of it.
