7 year old boy sexually touching 4 year old brother?

[jeffjenhart]

I have 2 sons, 1 is 7 and the other is 4 and i found them experimenting sexually with each other. I have heard that this is common with the 4 year old but not with the 7 year old. Can I get some advice her as far as what to do? We have already sat and talked to them and really don't think that anything is going on with him and an older person. Thanks

I shouldn't worry  it's jusy boys being boys  they will grow out of it

definately just experimenting at the moment as that is what boys do however it wouldnt hurt to drop your had in every 10-15 mins or so if they are playing quietly alone somewhere to check it isnt going on too much.

try not to worry though and please dont think you have some sort of future sex obsessed strange man on your hands, like everyone says it all sounds perfectly normal

look this isn't intended as an attack and i'm sorry that i don't agree with the majority but  really - i think a seven year old boy should not be interested in the sexuality of this 4 year old brother (if it was a four year old girl he was intefering with would would that be different to you all) I think you should consider taking further action, as this sort of thing will haunt both of them for the rest of their lives (if they have simulated each other or something similar)

Undercovers, just curious, what do you think further action should be?

Talk to your eldest son about his body and tell him is ok to touch his own body in that way but not his brothers body, at this age most kids want to know more about their bodies so explain any questions he may ask about his body. Hopefully he will understand not to touch his brother in that way.
