Re: My 5 yo son pulled down pants of 5 yo friend...

hi,children may have sexual ideas at above four too.at the momemnt though it would seem more to do with curiosity. a simple straight forward explanation may help. the thing to worry aout is check out any exposure to child abuse.watch out for any adult/teen ager who may be doing the same to your child. school?

Re: Re: My 5 yo son pulled down pants of 5 yo friend...

I can remember meeting Frank behind the picnic shed at Jenolan Caves when I was 5 and looking at his bits, yep, he looked at mine too ( and go figure... we were different!!) .... we told everyone that we were married for 3 weeks and then forgot about it. It was 1966. I didn't see another naked male until I was 18. I remember it, but I don't think it marked my life in any negative way.

Stop fretting, and cancel the psychologist... so he is a little curious....if the behaviour continues or escalates, maybe then do something. Kids will embarrass you, but time passes.
