MedHelp Member's Question

my 5 yr old

by worriedmomof5yrold, Nov 05, 2009 02:02PM

my son is getting ready to turn 5 next month. he is obsessed with his pee pee. when he lays down to go to sleep he is constantly touching it and hunching. it is like it soothes him. it really freaks me out and i want to know if this is normal behavior and if not what i need to do.

dont be freaked out this is all pretty normal, boys do do it a lot, dont make a big deal about it, there is nothing to do, aways be aware of older children if he is around any and it had come from learned behavior.,just be aware, but relax its normal.
