What happened on the school bus today?

Question

today my son's bus driver told me that my eight year old son and another eight year old were caught touching each other in the private area (over pants and snow pants). I'm not sure how to handle this, is it a concern or is it just kids being kids.

Answer 1

It was normal but I would discuss it with the other mother when should you have the s*x talk

Answer 2

My son when he was about 5 years old slept over at his cousins house and tried the same thing. It is all about exploring. Just talk to him and tell him how innapropriate it is and he will get the picture. I know how you feel but it is completely normal.

Answer 3

Totally normal.  Mostly all kids do this sort of thing, or play doctor, etc.  Would be more abnormal if your kid didnt do this.  Just have a talk about good touch and bad touch, and things like that. Don't worry

Answer 4

When I was in preschool at daycare, we were in naptime and some little girl taught me to 'have s*x' with a teddy bear by humping it. And then we used to show eachother our private parts. You should be careful about what your kid is doing LOL.

Answer 5

Just kids being kids

Answer 6

If you even have to ASK this question, I seriously consider that you are not fit to be a parent. OF COURSE it's a concern, I would wonder where the h**l they got the idea to do that, especially on a school bus!

Answer 7

This isn't something that a little kid just picks up on his own... he's seen it somewhere. probably on TV.

If he does something like this again, he might not realize that this isn't exactly a good thing.

Just sit him down and tell him that it's bad. he cant do it anymore.Chances are, he'll stop and wont do it again. but if you get another report of something like this, you should be concerned.

Answer 8

I think you should just try to talk to him about how you shouldnt touch others. My 7 yr old did the same thing and we told him not to touch others and he hasnt since.  You should talk to your son.

Answer 9

Depending on how old the child was, they could have been exploring.  It's normal.  Just talk to him or her about it and explain that's not good behavior and it needs to stop.

Answer 10

yeah, they are just being kids. Trust me, they're not thinking about sexual orientation yet at 8. Exploring is a good word. Or maybe it was less than what the driver saw.

Answer 11

Was it a boy or a girl? They are just being kids. This sounds gross but they have somewhat of a s*x drive too. They are also quite curious. Don't worry about it and definitely talk to him. Don't embarrass him but just tell him to keep his hands to himself when he's in public. Make sure you watch out for him when he's about 13-14 ish.

Answer 12

it is normal. Just disscuss good and bad touching and what is appropriate. I remeber in grade 6 the game was to lighting punch the opposite s*x in the croutch. It was just about the touching. Just have a talk to him

Answer 13

its just kids being curious

Answer 14

Probably kids being kids but you could have a talk with him. Maybe start to teach him about appropriate and inappropriate touch and def teach him about personal space. Good luck!

Answer 15

Depends - were they told to stop and carried on?  Kids are curious.  Don't drive yourself nuts about it.

Answer 16

They're just exploring.
