I am really concerned about Ds re- inapropriate touching

[fattiemumma]

Ds is 5 DD is 19 months.

theyw ere both playing whilst i ( in the same room) was checkng some emails.
they were both naked ready for their baths.

they were giggling away playing but when i turned round to look at them i saw what i think was DS shoving his finger.....well, where no one that age should be putting it and certainly not in his sisters!

i am in a bit of shock realy. i dont know for certain that that is what i saw, but when i saw them i shouted his name and he looked up at me, withdrew his hand and sort of...well wiped his finger.

I dont leave them to be babysat by anyone other than my mum and dad so it certainly isnt anything he has seen and is copying..im a single mum with absolutly NO love life so its not from me.

i just dont know what to do about it. i mean i kind of said "stop it thats very naughty"

should i be really worried? is this normal in siblings? im one of 10 and havent come across it yet.

PLEASE can someone tell me its normal.

i am almost 100% certain that this is normal behaviour! children are naturally curious, even more so I think when they have a brother or sister of the opposite sex
and it all becomes even more enticing when the other one finds it funny!

At 5 some curiousity is normal. He is also old enough to have inappropraite touching explained to him
I'd go along that route and watch to see he listens
if he does no bother then it's just a one off :)

i think its normal too ... but ~I'm sure there are probably shades of grey .. my DS also 5 is also tries to touch DD (2) when they're in the bath at times .. I always say 'no don't do that' then forget about it because I know there's nothing else to it

DD in turn tries to steal his willy

I found my DD (4) lying back on the sofa with legs splayed saying to DS (2): "look DS, can you see the little tongue? Do you want to touch it?"
He declined.
I think the time has come for a little chat with her, before school starts.

oh thank god. i was realy worried. firstly about DS doing it in the firstplace but also about the fact that DD was A) letting him and B) seemingly enjoying it

i did Freud at uni and i know they have their phases but i just never even considered they would be THAT curious!

im just glad he's not a freak....even if it has caused so much havoc on the boards

Sorry I had a giggle at this, cos it's definitely normal behaviour, just like my DS age 2 has thing about my 'daisy', he is always trying to touch it and when his willy was erect one day he told me he would 'fix it', I ran out of the room muttering 'weirdo', told DH who wet himself....

whilst me and my brother were in the bath together one day, i was about 6 he was 4, we both dared me to put my mouth over his willy. i did. only once. we both laughed and have never told anyone- till now!!
:o

DD1 has put her finger on dd2's nunny. Why wouldn't she' It's just another part of the body. She's touched everything else. Best reaction is no reaction. If he put his finger up his sisters nose it would be the same thing. It's just exploring and learning isn't it. I mean I wouldn't encourage it ! but no harm done, totally normal and just one of those things, I'm afraid
