14 is way to young and if you go for it i hope your folks find out and have him arrested, shame on him, and you better start acting 14 or you are going to regret it big time, plenty of time for that junk later, have fun hanging out with your friends and keep the serious boy/girl stuff on hold!

All 15 year old boys act weired and even when they grow up men tend to get weired when they are with a group of guys.  What you are experiencing is perfectly normal.  You have nothing to worry about.

i think someone shld wash ur mouth out and see how you like it.\nPerhaps you need to sit with ur son and explain why he shouldnt say what he did, he could have just picked it up at school and was told by his friends its cool and not fully understand that he shouldnt do it.  Then find a more appropriate way, tell him he cant have something he likes if he says things like that again. example: my 7 yr old niece was the same so her parents wont let her have party pack on fridays at school if she does it again - needless to say she has stopped.\n\nthere is no point punishing a kid who doesnt understand why he is being punished cuz it certainly wont stop him from doing it again

It sounds like your 12 year old wants to spend some quality time with you.  There is nothing wrong with that. \n\nAfter you have your day out, do the same thing with the other two.  I'm sure they would appreciate some one on one time as well.\n\nHave a good time!

at a young age  erections are not sexual they r uncontrollable bc kids dont know what causes it or how to stop and start it. I think at 4 or 5 it is time to let them doit themself. but dont freak out it is very normal.

Masturbation is quite common in young children. In most cases, it is considered a natural, normal behavior in children of all ages. Children often begin masturbating at around eighteen months of age. Masturbation tends to peak when children are between the ages of three and five. It then declines in frequency until puberty.\n\nMany parents are surprised and/or shocked to find their children masturbating. Parents should keep in mind that masturbation generally causes no physical harm to their children. In most cases, problems result only when adults overreact.\n\nFor parents to deal with their children's masturbation they must know when it is normal and when it might indicate some underlying problem.\n\n\nWhy Children Masturbate :\n\n*Pleasure. Children learn very quickly that it feels good to masturbate.\n\n*Self-soothing. For many children, masturbation reduces tension. These children may masturbate when they are upset, tired, bored, or feeling stress.\n\n*Exploration. Many children will masturbate as part of the natural curiosity they have about their bodies.\n\n\nWhat Parents Can Do :\n\n*Ignore it. Masturbation is, after all, a normal behavior for most children. Parents can best handle it by treating it matter-of-factly. Parents shouldn't try to get their children to stop masturbating by punishing, threatening or scolding. If they do, they run the risk of giving their children the idea that their genitals are bad and/or dirty.\n\n*Remain calm. Parents should try not to overreact. They should also keep in mind that no physical harm will come to their children as a result of masturbation. If parents overreact, they may put fear into their children about their bodies.\n\n*Don't be surprised. Masturbation among young children is very common, and quite normal.\n\n\nWhen Children Masturbate in Public Places :\n\nMasturbation is something that should be done in private. Most young children, however, don't know the difference between public and private behaviors. In these cases, children must be taught. Parents should treat public masturbation as they would any other behavior that is not acceptable in public places, for example, nose picking. Here are some specific things that can be done to minimize masturbation in public places.\n\n*Explain. If parents discover their children masturbating in a public place, they should tell their children that is something that should be done only in private, for example, in the children's bedroom or the bathroom. Parents should use words like, "It's all right to do that in the bathroom or the bedroom, but not in the grocery store or when other people are around." Parents should try not to criticize, nag, or punish their children. They should treat the behavior matter-of-factly.\n\n*Offer alternatives. Parents should provide their children with something else to do with their hands while they are in public. They could also try to distract their children from masturbating by suggesting some other activity.\n\n*Be consistent. If children, for example, masturbate while they are at day care, parents should work out a solution with their children's day care provider. It is important that the behavior be treated in the same way by parents and by other care providers.\n\n\nWhen to Seek Help :\n\nOn rare occasions, children's masturbation habits may be an indicator of other problems. Parents should consult their children's health care provider if:\n\n*Children's masturbation interferes with their social interactions.\n\n*Techniques to eliminate public masturbation have failed.\n\n*Parents have any concerns about their children's well being.\n\n*Parents feel that their children are possibly not masturbating, but scratching or rubbing the genital area because of discomfort. It may be possible that such children have an infection or a rash.\n\n*Masturbation is constant.\n\nParents should keep in mind that in most cases, masturbation is a common, normal

well, first of all, its entirely natural for your kid to be curious about sex, and nudity at this point. and yeah, you need to know where the cards came from. but dont overreact. explain to them that such things are for adults, not for children. nor are they appropriate for school. i assume that the cards have been taken away. its sort of hard to know how to punish a child who doesnt realize that they have porn, and are bringing these things to their friends because they are curious. i personally dont think punishment is appropriate. just make sure they understand that certain things are not for children, and not for public consumption. and this is definately a sign that you need to have a serious conversation with your kid about sex. better it comes from you than one of their enormously misinformed friends or the internet. dont be angry. they didnt do it to disobey. they did it to satify curiosity. so satisfy it in a more constructive way.

Or** for both parties is a great idea, massages, rubbing each other all over, kissing alot, let him lick your upstairs... i hope your old enough to be reading this... if your under 18 (or the legal age of consent) then you need to just not be doing it

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.

There is no wrong in masturbathing, if it is at such a level that he cant stop doing it even in public,then he needs counselling. try 2 find out the reason y iz he not tryin to leave that habit. once u find the reason then it will be easy 2 help out.

Perhaps he has an infection and you should take him to see his doctor?  I'm  surprised that he likes to whack it so much since he's only 8.  Good for him, I guess.  Since he rubs it so much it's probably just sore and you should try to keep him from doing that.  If it's the kind of "itch" that I think you're talking about then maybe a little sex talk might be in order..... mainly just to let him know it's normal, and it's okay.... in private.

there is nothing wrong or bad with being company by boys. Most of my friends are boys too but as long as you guys don't do anything wrong or bad then everything is fined!

Now is the time to deny your child rap "music."  If you encourage this preference he has for this genre he will not relish "kiddy-friendly" rap for his entire life.  This type of music is not wholesome - it does the opposite of encouraging good citizenship and morality.\n\nIntroduce him to Mozart.

No, normal masturbation will not harm you, regardless of m/f, nor will it hurt your children.  It is natural and has proven health benefits.
