sexual curiosity?
I walked into our living room today and caught my 2 year old daughter on top of my 5 year old son. He was holding her and humping her!
His pants were on but unbuttoned.
I explained to him that what he did was wrong because it was for grown ups only and not for children.
I also told him that people don't do that to their brothers or sisters.
He seems to be very interested in his sister and I know that he's touched her before and I thought I took care of it.
I've even caught him peeking at me in the bathroom throught the keyhole in the door.
Why is he so curious?
I no longer let them take baths together and they are not allowed to be naked unless they are taking baths or getting dressed.
He has shown her his private areas before. I just think that this is NOT normal curiosity and that somebody at some point has done something to him. I just have a bad feeling.
I'm not sure what else to do or what direction to go with this.
Should I talk to a doctor?
What else should I explain to both of them?
I'm so shocked and at a loss of what to do next.

We had a bbq with a bunch of friends and their kids. My 3 year old daughter tells me that her and one of the 5 year old boys were playing doctor and she told him she had a boo boo in her pee pee. (She had irritation down there from wiping incorrectly). He told her to show him and stuck one of the doctor toys in it. Now coming from a 3 year old, it may have just touched it. Should I address this??!
Hello, my five year old son doesn't live with me due to me having a drink problem and me agreeing with social services that my mum could provide better care.I have been having supervised visits for over a year. However since not drinking a year ago I have relised that my reson for drinking was due to the tramatic childhood I have had.I was sexualy abused as a child and as a result was in dysfunctional relationships. However recently my son has been caught touching my three year old neice innapriopratly apparently kissing her vagina aswell. I'm shocked that social services are convinced that this must have been something he wittnessed while living with me I know this isn't true, I'm fighting to get him back with me and I'm lost for what I should do. I'm worried that something might be going on at my mums, I really feel like they are blaming me and I'm just so worried that I can't be there for my son. I'm his mother and I feel like I can't protect him has anyone got any suggestions please.
I know this post is sort of old, but I think kids are curious - as a mom of 6 - ranging from 25 - 3, 4 boys & 2 girls - they are all different. My oldest had a huge curiousity for himself, but always very modest around other kids (he would change in the bathroom if he had a sleepover etc...) my 2nd son, I caught "hiding" in the closet at about age 4 & 5 with a friends son - playing "show me yours and I'll show you mine" - I have boy/girl twins who are now 17 and my daughter would sneak up at night (about age 5) and turn on the tv to late night "cinamax" - her twin brother, on the other hand was grossed out when my husband and I even kissed and would never dream of stepping into the bathroom while i was in the shower to even pee (all of the other kids would come and go frequently) - my youngest son (5 in feb) is very curious about himself, and no longer showers with me because of an obsessive "staring" - i have seen him exploring with himself (and i turn the other way and don't mention it, other than to ask if everything is ok "down there") BUT - when he gets too curious for my comfort with my 2 1/2 year old daughter (wanting to watch her pee, or asking to wash her in the bath) I give him another task and tell him that girls are weird about privacy and he needs to give her some so she doesn't feel uncomfortable. my 2 1/2 year old is obsessed with leaning to watch where her poop and pee come out while on the potty...this may seem weird to people too - but kids are curious, I believe we need to give them space to explore safely - but supervise them close enough to prevent harm to another (physically or emotionally). I was a curious kid too - I remember being as young as 7 or 8 and "writing secret messages" on my friends' backs at sleepovers, by 11 or 12 I was so curious about my one friends breasts (she developed early, me not so much) - and I had a cousin (boy) about 4 years younger that I would sleep (with underwear) butt to butt and tickle eachothers feet while we fell asleep...also, maybe weird? I am a pretty well rounded, professional mom - down to earth and pretty conservative with my dress and behavior - I was married before having a child, and dated my first boyfriend for 4 years before having sex...I do not think sexual curiousity leads to promiscuity, I don't think I am gay or even bisexual because my first curiosities were explored with the same gender - as an adult I do like sex, but always as a consenting adult - no weird or unusual fetishes.
Sorry thought, and curiosity were spelt wrong.
When I was 5 or 6, I French kissed my little 1 and 1/2 year old brother, I was curious of how it felt like because, all the princesses in Disney movies French kissed their prince. It was slimy uncomfortable and lasted like 2 seconds. This was just pure curiousidy, and I never did anything like it to him since. I have always felt really ashamed like I stole my little brothers first kiss. Reading these doesn't make me feel much better but, I though I would help give perspective of what was going through their heads.
I would also like to ask a question my son is not even 2 yet and he goes and sees his bio father on a regular basis i recently caught my son playing with his private parts but not as a child would but like what a adult man does. i am very worried and have no idea what to do
