My son is infatuated with his penis :(

[Celsie]

Oh God... do I have this to look forward to?!?

I think from the sounds of it, it's a novelty and he's just trying to get some sort of reaction/attention from you. If he see you're not interested in the game, he'll soon tire and move onto something else... an by the sounds of it, he's run out of inappropriate of body parts!

Im actually going to write down all your answers so i know what to do/say when its my turn to deal with this...Which wont be that far away...

[Kitt3n]

my DF says not to worry, it will never stop

reminds me of a joke i heard a long time ago (forgive me, i dont have the best memory and am a crap joke teller, but here goes!)

A conversation between a mother and her little boy. The little boy has just discovered his penis.

"Mummy" he says, " Is this my brain?"

"Not yet!" She replies

[Muppity]

OK now I have the song "magical penis" in my brain and all I can think of is taking it off at night and leaving it in the medicine cabinet. Actually maybe you could tell him that story - didn't the guy "misplace" it LOL

[Schmickers]

Well, I'm 30, and I'm still reasonably infatuated with mine, so you might have another 26.5 years left to ride this out...

Having said that, it's a long time since I whipped it out in front of strangers...

I would try not to worry too much about it. It's annoying, but some boys develop different ideas about modesty than others, and it will pass. It doesn't sound to me like there's the slightest bit of inappropriate sexual knowledge or activity there, given his age, so just keep reminding him that you want him to play with it in private.

And I actually think you deserve commendation - I think it's great that he's so comfortable with his body.

Zander is too! We tell him though that he needs to play with it in his room only, so he'll run off to his room & two seconds later comes back & tells us he's finished

I'm sorry, but I'm laughing so hard. So cute.
My girls aren't allowed to bath together anymore coz they were showing each other their 'bits'.
When Bri started wearing undies, she chucked brown eyes at everyone!
A friends little girl used to pull on hers to the point I thought she would pull it off - & that was a girl!!

Don't worry, he'll soon start hiding it in public. Well maybe. He'll never lose his obsession with it though. He is male & that is his best mate! Or his future brain. I like that one!!

I've had this with my boys too.
I also tell them that if they want to play with "willy" they should do it in their room/bathroom because it's not nice for other people to see.
It seems to have worked so far

[~Raven~]

Angus is mad for his!

I just tell him that they are private and if he wants to look at it then go to his room and do so.
Also I have told him the same as Maz and said not to let anyone else ever touch it and to tell me or Dad if that happens.
