I agree with what u said. Children will be children. Curiosty is how they grow. It is good u didn't yell or spank them. But u also shouldn't tell them u and god are dissapointed in them. They are young children, they are still learning. I disagree with what margypops said. I wouldn't worry too much about them being touched or anything. It IS normal for kids to participate in this stuff. I have 3 boys and raised my lil bro. I have caught my bro and oldest son experimenting with friends. Did I praise it? No,but I didn't blow it out of proportion either. Kids tell other kids, and it makes them curious and they go to the nearest and closest child. Kids see adults kissing they get curious as to why? So they do it. They notice their bodies are different. They wonder why? It is normal. Just keep close eye on them. But by the way ur son acted, I doubt it will happen again. Hope this helps. If u have any questions feel free to message me.
No worries, glad to be of help.
I appreciate both of your fast response!
Margypops, I did ask her and she simply kept saying I dont know... We have a feeling it was from T.V., so we ended up putting a lock on all shows that are rated above PG. So it dosn't matter when or what channel it will automatically lock it. (That makes me feel a little better) So yes you are right about that. So thank you!
aid821, you made me feel at ease with your response. I think I needed to hear someone else say everything will be fine. It's hard when the same two people are going through the same thing (husband and wife), and having to tell ourselves we did the right thing. You want an outside opinion without telling someone you know. It is embarrassing and I dont want anyone to think less of my children. So thank you as well! :)
I think that the eldest may have seen this behavior children do not simply begin to do these kind of things so it may be an idea to think of who they have been alone with or what they have seen on TV or the computer. When you speak to your daughter ask her Why and who she may have seen doing this ...it may be a good idea to let them watch TV with you in the living area so they are supervised ..
You hit the nail on the head with what you said yourself. I think this was simply a case of curiousity and innocence, not intent. Additionally, you did the right thing by not yelling or screaming at them and instead, letting them know that it's not the right thing to do. Children as young as they are, don't understand unless we tell them right from wrong. lastly, judging by your sons reaction, i don't think it's going to happen again. :)
