DS pulling other kids trousers down

[mortifiedmama]

Name changed for this but been around since 2015 (maui, stop the cheque etc).

Nursery told me yesterday that DS (almost 3) has been pulling down the trousers and underpants of another boy (his "best friend") to see his bottom. DS is currently potty training and is a bit obsessed. He sees me and DH naked and decided to tell a packed lift full of ikea shoppers that he has a willy and a bottom and daddy has a willy that's bigger than his and mummy doesn't have one because she's a mummy (it felt like the longest lift ride in the world).

He's never done anything like this at home or with friends before and we do talk about the pants rule and keeping things private etc.

I know it's on the spectrum of normal but any other suggestions of how to discourage it? I don't want to make a huge deal of it but at the same time don't just want to ignore it.

Haha! This has tickled me! I would of loved to of seen his "best friends" reaction 😂 or been one of the shoppers in the lift!

Not a big deal, I'm sure nursery have seen this a thousand times over..
I don't think there is much you can do about it, apart from tell him " your best friend will be sad, if you pull his pants down. He might not want to play with you, if you do that. So you won't do that again will you? Because then you won't have anybody to play with, and you will be sad?"

it's so normal isn't it. My DS is 2.5yo and is obsessed with bits, bums, poos and pees. Oh and his own willy.
He went through a phase of trying to grab DH's willy any time he saw him naked but DH would just stop his hand and say 'no, that's not nice, daddy doesn't like it' and he's stopped now.
I think the nursery should just say no every time and move him away from his best friend for a couple of minutes.
