ds (5) constantly fiddling with himself - it's driving me crazy!

He's only been doing this for a few weeks but it is constant. He just turned 5 last week and hadn't shown any real interest before. I've tried telling him that he should only do it in private but a couple of seconds later he is doing it again. He doesn't put his hand down his trousers but seems to be almost pulling at his penis through his pants. I don't think he even knows he is doing it half the time. When I ask him if his penis is sore he says it just feels funny and he doesn't like it. I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

Check he hasn't got an infection of any kind. If he's OK use distraction techniques like "Oh. Look at that bird out there. What kind is that do you think?" I don't think the advice is to tell him it's rude or naughty 'cos you might give him a hang up. Hmm

It's normal my DC thought it was magic that his penis went hard, then soft then hard, I'm sure you get the idea. Your DC is prob saying it feels strange as he is fiddling with it and making it go hard.
