Question

Why has my 7 year old been getting constant erections?

Answer 1

It's called puberty

Answer 2

Because he's male and thinks of s*x?

Answer 3

Hey stop the viagra now.

Kidding. Believe me this is normal in some boys his age. You find it in girls as well they would rub them selfs on the bed or a couch. Normal growing up pains.

Answer 4

how often is constant!?

Do you just mean a lot?  It would be normal for this to happen a few times a day, especial if he plays with his parts.  First thing in the morning is usual and so is in a warm bath.

Is there a chance he has sensitivity issues, like his clothes touch him and it affects him this way.  Some people respond differently sensations than other people.

If it is more than that you could ask your GP if there maybe a medical problem with circulation in the area.

Answer 5

It's a natural process of life at that age

Answer 6

maybe you gave him Viagra instead if St Joseph's aspirin for children.

Answer 7

He may be exploring himself physically. Children at a very young age are sexually aware to some extent. There thoughts on the matter might surprise us. A Christian author recently published a book on raising children with good coverage on that matter.

If this becomes an issue at school or at inappropriate times, then it may be a sign that counseling is required.

But, accept it as a part of his normal development. You could try talking to him about the matter of a "right time and place for everything." But it's important not to shame him, of course.
