Hi, my DS who is 10 recently broke down in tears one night after admitting on a sleep over 1 year ago an older boy played 'porn'. He said he hasn't been able to sleep and been upset as it was on his mind. He was better after telling us.
A few nights ago he came down again in tears, because he was thinking about sex. I explained it was normal as he may be going through puberty and we had the 'chat' . He seemed fine after that. Tonight he was unable to sleep again after saying a few weeks ago he would just start thinking about people having sex and he didn't want those thoughts. He said people like his family including me and his dad. I explained it's normal because of mixed emotions/thoughts with puberty.
Has anyone experienced this with their son? Is it normal starting of puberty or is it more of an anxiety he has stopping him from getting to sleep? Im new here and would appreciate any advice as I'm starting to worry for him myself now, I don't like the thought of my 10 year old not being able to sleep and being anxious about things, thanks
