I have heard (from radio therapists, etc.) that it is completely normal for children to be curious that way.  Even that siblings under the age of ten usually have some sort of sexual interaction. I remember messing with the girl across the street.  Does that help?

Yes I do when I think my son needs it! He is almost 3. I will not spank him when he spills his milk but his butt will be tested if he runs into the street!\n\nSpanking is good for kids! My kids will not get in trouble like these kids that are raised with the "time out" punishment thing! What a joke!!!

He probably isn't really thinking anything of it, especially if he's easy on the eyes he probably just walks around the house in his underwear or naked just because it's comfy... I know I do. I just don't think nudity is that big of a deal... not really, not so much. I wouldn't say anything but maybe enjoy the view when I was lucky enough to catch it. I know that's how I feel about it. I know my neighbors if they saw me were like 'HMM, was she in her.... NA'. And if one of them did say something to me, I would think they were weird & ballsy for making the comment and yet admitting that they were watching me... I'd wonder how many times they did see me... Not that I would care. I don't know if I would change my behavior either. So don't go blowin' it that you watch your neighbor.... might wanna consider if isn't all that bad or at least rally up some neighbors because you are trying to prove his behavior is weird, not yours. Ya know!

Hmmm.... scratch with my hand in an obvious way?.. nope..my kids would be appalled, and my son with his very keen sense of being a smarty britches would probably say very loudly, "Mom.. thats a private thing, go to the bathroom if your itchy, that's the rules"  Since thats what I have told him to do instead of adjusting in class when he's in front of an audience (Yes I got a letter home)\n\nBut a technique I do use to be less obvious is to pull at my waistband of my jeans to act as though I forgot to wear a belt and my pants are slipping, that little wiggle usually helps.. but if not then I tug at my pant legs towards the bottom by my shoes, like i pulled my pants up too far and now my socks are showing.. the bend over wiggle helps too..and if all else fails when in public I'll do a little cha cha dance and really wiggle.. when my kids are with me they think we are having a silly moment...

If it isnt clean, safe and close to the public passing by then it may be one.  Fantasies are one thing, reality is very different, and you or your son may end up in trouble.  Be careful.

It sounds like it might be normal in your house.  \nThe only difference between your house and mine, is that in my house the dancing is restricted to the top of the coffee table only.

Honey, 12 isn't early; I started when I was like 4 or 5!  Children do, if they are not inhibited by adults with puritanical ideas.  There is nothing wrong with it, as long as you do it in private.

I have 2 children. The ages of 1&2. My one year old just started walking. I ask people to talk off their shoes to keep the floor clean and less things off the floor for the kids to pick up. Plus it helps when it comes down to allergies and many more things.

totally ignore it as if i felt nothing and try to leave wherever i am...a little kid like 5  or 6 i hope!  if it was a kid who was 10 or 11 i would definetly run in the other direction, if it was a little kid i wouldn't think anything of it.....kids are odd, aren't they?

NEVER EVER BRIBE!  It will backfire at some point rather it be when he is 5 or 18 years old.  Don't Force him to go either.\n\nMy oldest (who is now 9) was not potty trained unitl he was almost 4.  I never forced him.  I feared my oldest would not be potty trained in time for Kindergarten.  \n\nLet him watch daddy go potty, that works wonders. Take lots of books for him to "read" while he is doing his business.  <-----Worked for my oldest.\n\nAlways, ALWAYS praise him.  Be as Goofy as you can be when he goes potty.  Be his cheerleader.  Let him see how happy it makes you.  And not just on his first time....EVERY time he goes...BE GOOFY and award him LOTS of praise!\n\nIt will come.

It's the same in my house- 4 kids- the oldest is 9.  I'm glad my son still has some of his innocence..   Some 9 yr olds are hardened  by life by now. He'll find out soon enough I just hope it doesn't crush him or the kids at school are not mean to him.   Merry Christmas.

Why is it these days that people seem to think that kids are hyper-active? It is NORMAL for children to be energetic. You worry when they are NOT energetic. This is when they are learning the most and need to have things to do that will help them learn. Sometimes, you need to get them out and let them just run and jump and climb, so they can develop their muscles, as well as wearing them out enough so they will pay attention when you are trying to teach them things that require them to sit still.\nLittle boys are usually far more interested in the physical exercise than the other things, and this is also normal. Don't try to push them into doing things they are not ready to do. Don't let other people tell you that there is something wrong with your child, because he is different from others. We are ALL different. DON'T let the doctors give him drugs to "calm him down."

This ones a little scary!  By the looks of your intellectual level, I sure hope that youngster is out of diapers!\n\nFrom my point of view, a child should have reached double digits before being left alone.  Children do strange things when left alone, usually out of fear.  Most normal kids, by the time they're ten, could probably survive short term isolation.

No!  Any exercise is better than no exercise!  I have 4 little ones and quiet often can not until they are in bed.  My doc says that is just fine!

Bathroom trips don't have much if anything to do with controlling you. Just be extremely thankful that they use the toilet and are not still in diapers. It's preschool. They've gotta go. It's particularly normal for kids with siblings to get an urge to go whenever they see someone else going. They're only four for pete's sake. If you didn't want to deal with helping kids as though you were their mother, you should have probably picked a different job.
