Hi,
I posted on here a couple of weeks ago about my DS who is nearly 7, and very into girls. I thought I had dealt with things by explaining that you don't have girlfriends until much older they are just friends, but now something has happened that has made me and my dh worry.
I found a notebook in his bed and he had written a step by step account of what he would do and I presume it was if he was having sex. He even put that he had to put something on his willy ( I couldn't read the word he wrote). He had done a drawing below which was very had to see what it was but he's obviously thinking about it in detail.
Just don't know what to do. I am worried he's going to tell his DS (5), and his new classmates as it's something new he's discovered. No clue as to how he knows about it!!
Any ideas on what I should do? I'm a bit scared to talk to him in case I say the wrong thing.
Many thanks

Hi, op.

I understand your concern. I once found a "noir" book made by my ds7 in which the character kills some one whilst shouting "die you dirty fat fucker" in a cartoon balloon. Shock

The panicky reaction that I was bringing up a serial killer eventually resided!! I broached him in an open gentle way. He'd never used language like that as far as I was aware. He'd heard older kids (in the attached college) using it and I think it was a way of secretly expressing himself and testing the boundaries.

I think it sounds like your DS is getting his head around the whole process. It's obviously being discussed in school groups. If you have already had an open, biological process type talk with him, then maybe open it again and reiterate the whole topic of loving adult relationships, and that you have to be 16 years old to engage in it.
