Is 8 too young to have a wet dream?

Question

My son is nearly 8 and in the small hours last night I heard him crashing around in his bedroom - a few minutes later he knocked on our door and when I went in he had pee'd all over the end of his bed (not unusual as he often sleep walks and sometimes mistakes the toilet), but, what has confused me is that right in the middle of the pee, there was a long white mark which looked suspiciously like s***n. I'm baffled, didn't think it could happen this early although he does seem to be spending more and more time with his hands on his bits 'n' pieces....any other suggestions on what it might be? Or can it actually happen at 8?

Answer 1

I would say he is possibly too young. It would be very unusual for a boy to enter puberty this young.

Answer 2

Waaay to young!

Either ask him nicely if he has a crush on a girl,

If he know what IT is and he's been thinking about 'doing her'

If he does not know...It's time.

Answer 3

i really doubt that at 8 he is having wet dreams. Does he have any other signs of puberty? If so then I would be getting him checked at the doctor because puberty at his age is not normal. If it was a girl then it would be a different story but 8 for a boy is young

Answer 4

He is too young.

He may just be a very early bloomer.

If your really worried take him to the doctor.

Answer 5

If the white marks on the sheet look like cloudy swirls, it could be dried salt residue from sweating.
