Son touches penis constantly

by browniemummy, Nov 12, 2008 03:55AM
My 4 1/2 year old touches his penis whenever he is idle, tired or sulking. It is more overt than other little boys and he seems unable to stop. He can't go to sleep without a hand down his pants. He is starting school next year and  I really need help getting him to stop before then. Any advice?

My son is 4 and does the same thing, when he is doing while awake just say Mommy doesnt need to see that we do that in private. I did this with my son and he hardly ever does it in front of me any more he will go to the bathroom and say he has to pee and shut the door. He is just curious. I dont think he will grow out of it my ex would watch tv with his hand in his pants.

my aunt had the same problem with her son, she just told him that is something he does in private. I agree he's probably just curious.
