Question

Help answer this question below.

Parents: the other day I caught my 3 year old exploring himself. I told him if he was going to do that he needed to go to the bathroom. My husband got really upset with me. What should I have done?

    Has anyone ever stopped to think that maybe the kid simply got an itch? -- Yeah, guys can get a simple, innocuous itch there, just like people sometimes do on their noses! You feel like you just must scratch or it'll drive you crazy. Now, if it were a little girl's breast or a little kid's butt, a woman might feel like it is nothing much, right? The man might feel it was hostile, & the wife might feel it was very inappropriate. The kid, meanwhile, learns that his weenie is a nasty, sex-thing -- exactly what you didn't really want to teach him, huh? Yeah, discretion is good, but understanding & being kind is cool, too. Maybe all can go naked together, within wise boundaries, privately at times, to help the boy to not get the idea that naked = nasty/sex.
