6 year old with unusual behaviors

[lmgallo]

I have a 6year old son who will be 7 in November. He has always been very a sweet and loving child but he tends to do things that I think are inappropriate. He likes to rub things or use his hands to rub his anus. He puts pencils in between the his butt crack and leaves it there (on top of his clothes). He like to constantly rub himself which I hear is normal but I do not like it. He likes to rub his face on my breasts when he tries to hug me and also rubs his crotch on me when he hugs me. It makes me feel uncomfortable and I tell him that, that behavior is not acceptable and that he should not do those things. I don't know how to deter him from acting like that. There are a lot of behaviors he displays that I really am concerned with especially when he hangs out with his female cousin who is the same age. They tend to do things like take pictures with thier clothes off with his playschool kid camera. Which i found out about by mistake. I just need to know what to do until I get him seen by an expert.

I have 3 boys, and the oldest likes to do some of the stuff u named. I asked the dr and they said its normal for children (mainly boys) to play with their anus. Yea, its uncomfortable to see it, but its not a bad thing. Just teach ur son privacy. As for the pictures, kids are smarter then u think. They know what a camera is for, so they were probably just using it. But I agree, they do need more supervision.

  I find it really hard to believe that two 6 year olds have come up with the idea to take pictures of themselves with a camera.  Either someone has put them up to this (which is child pornography and against the law), or its just really weird.  I would seriously try and find out who else has seen these pictures.  If the pictures are still on the camera, I would seriously consider taking them to the police.

I am 18 teen will be 19 teen next month when i was 12 i got raped and i had been malersted more that 3 times so it sounds like someone is telling him about sex or taking to someone or hes cousins may already  know about it and their talking about it my male cousin use to do the same to me i would sajest that you get him to a doctor or a expert because this is very serious. hope everything goes ok and you might need to sit down with him just you and him and ask him what is he doing or what he means by this and tell him that this inappropriate and hes not going to do it pop him put him in time out and you need to tell hes cousin parents that this is accoring and they need to talk with their child about it also. Sorry thing is happening hope everything goes ok take care need me just ask

Is his dad in your home,  Imgallo?  I would think he could put a stop to your son's sexual behavior toward you by making it clear boys don't do that with their mothers.

I agree with margy,  it sounds like he needs a lot more supervision around his cousin if he has time to take clothes off and take pictures.

I would say that he has learned this behavior somewhere possibly the cousin or an older child or person, it may indeed a good idea to ask advice as I would say for a 6 year old this is extremley odd behavior and he is copying. do not leave him alone with his cousin or others .you say 'They tend to do things' so you are still allowing them to be together ??
