Not just boys. Girls explore and test boundaries with their genitals too.

You know that yellow slide out son carries around? Well, he started sticking his penis in it, you have to talk to him now.
He’s 4. It’s just what boys do.

Have a daughter also, so I know it all too well! Our focus is “It’s normal but private.” We will see how that goes.

That’s gonna be our approach, too with our kiddo.
It’s a hard one to fight your own overly-conservative programming in order to teach a healthier outlook to your kids. Hard to know if you’re going too far one way or the other. So much of parenting you just don’t know if you’re doing it right until you’re done.
Fist-bump from one internet parent to another, you’re going a great job ✌️

Never used one of those, but showerheads and bath faucets certainly

Yeah, children play with their genitals far more than I ever wanted to believe. I don’t really remember doing it as a kid, but it wouldn’t surprise me if most parents have stories about the odd things that happen.
