[QUOTE="keista, post: 529456, member: 11965"] Welcome. I'd call your son's behavior a bit more concerning than normal, but not completely off the charts. He's at the exact right age for sexual curiosity. 2, 5 and then again at puberty. At 2 kids are really discovering all the neat things their bodies do - usually coinciding with potty training. At 5 they are realizing that they are individuals - not just extensions of mom and dad. Truly noticing differences between men and women. And, well, puberty is puberty. I think you handled the situation very well. You are being proactive and will consult with a professional. I would go a step further and make sure he is always supervised (within eyesight) when girls are around. My favorite word when it comes to kids and sex is INAPPROPRIATE. No matter what you tell them (you know the slip where you say it's "fun" for mom and dad) you can always 'correct' a statement by saying it's INAPPROPRIATE for kids. [/QUOTE]
