Talking to your son about his penis...

[cjt110]

May i ask some sensitive advice? DS (almost 5) has just come to me hysterical.. He's just realised that his foreskin goes back and "hates the pink thing inside" and is scared.

I said it was just part of him and nothing to be scared of. He asked why was his skin white but inside it was red. I said look at my face... my skin is white. What colour is the inside of my mouth and he said red. I said it was just the inside of his willy and so was red.

He kept saying he didnt like it :-(

Have I dealt with this ok?

Bezalelle, send 'em over to me and I'll give them a kick.

Well done, I think you handled it brilliantly.

My son was agog when one day he discovered 'there's another woolly Inside my woolly!'

Just be honest and straightforward EVERY time he asks.
Mine once asked me what a BJ was on the way to school, with his friend in the car! Now, that was awkward!!

Don’t take any notice, you gave really good answers and he knows he can come to you and trust your answers, so, just give him time!
