actually, i hate to dispute, but this is a very normal occurance with children, especially those that do not have siblings. It is natural for children to be curious, and they do not understand that they are crossing boundaries, because these boundaries have not been identified to them yet. The best way to handle this situation is to first of all, inform the teacher of the problem and try to come up with a good way to discourage this behavior. Second, set your son down and explain to him what is appropriate,and what is not. Remember he doesn't have the understanding capacity that you do, so make it simple but informative for him to try to understand the situation.

In Kindergarten I really think that this boy thinks he is not doing anything wrong. My advice to you, is to bring this to the teacher. The teacher is the only person who is there to witness this act, and hopefully he or she can catch him in the act and teach the class what is appropriate and what is not. Maybe he or she could even let the children ask and answer questions about what is right and what is wrong. If there is something wrong, they should be able to tell by the childs body language. It is by law I believe that the teacher must tell the Super Indendent and file a report. This could be happening at home, or even by a relative or friend whoever you never know. Or nothing could be wrong at all, he may just be curious. I wish you the best.

It is normal for kids to explore their bodies. You need to talk to your son about his 'private parts' and let him know that other people shouldn't be touching them. Talk to him frankly and talk to the Kinder teacher also. This is not a real normal situation. If the other boy were touching himself or comparing himself to your son, yes, that's normal. A one time or two time exploration is also normal. At this point, I think this little boy may have been molested and is acting it out as he can't explain it in his little mind yet. Please talk to your son in words he understands and try to get the teacher to help the little boy.

It is pretty normal for children to be curious. However, it should stop.
I had a similar situation when I was teaching. One of the students told me about it (We can't be every where at once). I asked the child if he did this & he said yes (well, he nodded his head). I told him I was going to have to talk to his mother, which I did. She was very cooperative...It never to my knowledge happened again.
Perhaps, similar situation, you should talk to the teacher, let her talk to the other boy (he may not realize it is wrong), & let her talk to the boy's mother. Best case senario...everybody will cooperate & that will end the matter. Worst case senario...somebody will be definsive, deny the child would do such a thing etc. In that case you & the teacher or whoever will have to come up with Plan B. I only know what worked for me.
Bless you & your son & everybody concerned. Teachers do care...Nala

I only know my grandsons 3 and 1 1/2 run around touching their own! Ask the teacher about it, and somebody needs to have a conference w/ the other boys parent

Tell the teacher and have her talk to the kid's mom and dad. That is NOT normal and inform your child not to EVER do that. Never to let anyone but you and daddy, dr. whomever to only touch his "pee pee" when he's cleaning it. PERIOD. If the teacher doesn't do anything, pull him out of that school...if all else fails, call the police.

Nope definitely not normal. My only conclusion to this is that that poor kid is having some sexual harrassment issues at home. He's also thinking this is right, so he's going to school and repeating the behaviour. I'd tell the police about it, and then go over to the teacher and have a conversation about what has been going on and why hasn't she spotted this from happening?

You know when this became not normal for 5 yr olds to "explore" I dunno. Not saying i approve this behavior but yes you should tell the teacherr. It's not appropriate for it to be happening at school. PS where is the teacher during all of this?? I wouldn't worry for either little boy but not at all appropriate at school. We taught my son early on that it's ok to look at it etc but in his alone time in his room or while he's washing it in the bathroom. That way this doesn't happen at school and he doesn't get confused feelings thinking his pee pee is "dirty" and "shouldn't touch it".

Um, no. Very wrong.
Talk to teacher. Talk to the principal.
And do it soon. Dont wait. Because
1.) Your childs safety
2.) This poor child's safety!
This is usually (but not always) a sign up some sort of sexual abuse in that other child. :( It's sad, not his fault. He is only what, 5 years old? :( It's sad, because he's acting out what he thinks is normal, what is done to him.
BUT ITS NOT NORMAL OR RIGHT.
You could also call in on Child Protective Sevices.
