 | Anyone out there have any advice on how to handle the dilemma i am having with my just turned 7 year old son, he masterbates at home, mostly when he is tired, or stressed, when he does homework, or watching t.v., more some days than others...this i basically ignore, and just tell him it is something he should do in private, but his teacher has been telling me that this school year, he has been doing this almost everyday, right in class, sometimes to the extent, that other kids in his class are noticing, and making comments, mostly out of couriosity, and some days, it has been so much, that he is not getting work done in class. The teacher has mentioned this to me several times....I do not know what to say to my son, other than it is something he should do in private, and to please not do this in school....His father has talked to him about it also. His dad and I are divorced, but get along very well. I do not want to make him feel shameful, or dirty, as masterbation is normal for kids to do, just not in public places, as it sometimes makes other people uncomfortable, etc....I am not sure why he feels he has to do this, other than some sort of stress reliever for him. ANY feedback would be great! Any other parents had this situation with they're kids? Thanks for any info, comments.....Singlemom218 |
