my son

at what age and what point should touching be consider a problem? my son will be 5 and keeps trying to get my 2 yr old daughter to play with his penis, he states he's never been touched by anyone, but that my daughter did it once when he was sleeping and it felt good. i've tried repeatedly to explain that this behaivor is not acceptable but i keeps happening. should i be concerned, what should i do?????

Some sexual play is normal in children , however it is the touching of others that draws the line ,you dont want him thinking its okay to behave like that , I think you will find that supervision of them ,awareness, and telling him he cant do that is enough ..good luck

Yes he is far to young and i suggest as a physcologist that you should take him to a physcologist.

I doubt a 2 year old would touch unless by accident when he was asleep, do they share a bed ? I would say that supervision is important and yes it is necessary to tell him he cannot do it, he will go to school and do the same to others . Is he alone with other people or are you his only caregiver apart from school ,maybe children there have been playing games .
