Been following the thread on masturbations and have questions on how to handle.

March 25, 2011

Well group, I am confused as to how to handle this, first I am a single mom..and

my son is 13 years old. He perseverates on animals and sports and really

doesn't give a hoot about the changes in his body or having friends or personal

relationships. When he's in his night clothes he just rests his hand down his

pants but isn't fiddling and I have taught him that in his room alone is when

its okay to do that. He has the occassional morning erection and when he first

noticed it last year I told him to go to the bathroom and it would go away...not

really knowing how to handle the situation. He is not masturbating and only

seems to get aroused when he is brushing his teeth. I just ordered the book

Taking Care of Myself from the suggestion of another parent. So I'm sure he

doesn't know whats going on and he is not getting stimulated by the usual

things...pictures of girls etc.. Should I just let this go for now until he

figures it out by himself or should I just follow through with my plan to go

over the book with him during our nighttime ritual..

Thanks

Marcia
