Ok so my son is just gone 4 and a few months back there was an issue with him and his 2 cousins (one is also 4 and the other is almost 6). While I was playing a game with my lo he mentioned 'willy licking' that when they play in the garden, they sometimes do 'willy licking'. I was shocked and worried and wracked my brains as to where he could have seen or heard such a thing. By the way, its not even a jokey term that me and oh use, just in case anyone thinks he may have overheard. Anyway he has never to our knowledge walked in on us dtd or seen anything inappropriate, and we dont have sky tv so it couldn't be that porn could have been accidentally viewed. Also we dont have a porn stash or any such thing!
So I figured that maybe his older cousins, who has older friends may have picked this up somewhere? I spoke to his mum and she said she had never heard her son mention those words, and that he hadnt seen anything inappropriate either. I had a gentle but clear discussion with my son that this was totally inapproipate and the 'willys' are only for weeing, and you must never touch another persons private willy and that as they are for wees that they are yucky (ie. no licking of such parts!)
Anyway I thought this was all done and dusted, Ii was keeping an eye out for similar or worrying behaviour and there was nothing, until this morning. His creche rang me and said that another mother had rang today and said that while my child and her child were in the bathroom, my lo said when the had done there wee, that he should lick his willy and vice versa.
Oh my lord, im getting a bit worried now. My children are cared for by there dad and go to a good creche and they are never really left with anyone other than very close family - who I trust implicitly, there is NO concern over abuse or anything like that - but what on earth is going on? I cant understand where he has got this idea from (when we spoke the last time he said that his cousin told him of the game, but the mother has said no way, by the way Im not blaming anyone here) I just want to know what I can do to make him understand that this is totally out of order?
Its not he kind of thing I can google! Has anyone any idea of what I can do?
