My little boy pretents to play boyfriend/girlfriend with his cousins and sister. He imitates sex and kissing. He is lying about it, and always gets caught.

You need to find out how he learn about all that to begin with, was he sexually abused most young kids that were sexually abused act out that way, think could it be a possiblity like a teacher, daycare, baby sitter that did wrong......or do you just allow him to watch a lot of TV programs that have sexual sceans in them if so then thats your wrong for allowing that

kids go through a lot of different stages, but i think calling a 7 yr old a pervert is a bit much, how does he imitate sex how does he know what sex is? im sure its more innocent than you think but i would keep an eye on him not make a big deal out of it, but avoid letting him into situations where this behaviour occurs, ie dont let him on his own with his sister and cousins take them to afterschool clubs so theyve less time to play together on their own. dont confront him and turn him into a liar aswell, he will lie if he feels embarrassed all 7 yrolds will, whatever unsavoury behaviour hes doing hopefully he will forget about in a few weeks i cant think of a 7 yr old enjoying any sexual behaviour in fact i cant think of 7 yr olds and sex in the same thought anyway its bad very bad, and you must be mistaken about the behaviour, if it is how you beleive it to be aswell as avoiding situations you need to find out where hes getting this behaviour from, unless you are behaving sexually in front of him (which i very much doubt you are , or this behaviour wouldnt worry you so much) then its obvious hes picked it up from somewhere its not natural behaviour for a 7 yr old,

Okay...not being judgemental, but he had to get it from somewhere.
Has he ever walked in on you or does he have a friend that maybe he has learned this from. You would be surprised as to what they pick up on. The only thing to do is to severly punish him every time he pulls this and explain how he could have u taken away from him if he continues. You don't want him to pull this with a kid whose parents you barely know because it could end up in a legal battle of bad parenting. Once again I am not saying that you are a bad parent..but if he imitating it then someone has showed him and you need to find out the source.

OK...i wouldn't say he was a pervert..but he defiantly has seen someone having sex!!..That's not his fault he Saw it..That is the adults fault for letting him see it.Whether it be thru movies, or talking about it..or TV..or even being caught by him..or a neighbours..somewhere..somehow, this Innocent boy of 7 has learnt about having sex. You need to find out how he knows..make sure movies that have sex in them are not on when he is around...talk to him to see if someone did something to him..but not an out right..Did anyone touch you?..You might very well need to get your boy to therapy to see what has happened to him. It is not typical for a 7 year old to imitate having sex!!!

Kesha, sadly this is normal. 7 year olds are starting to imitate what they see. limit his TV to G shows. Set him down and let him know that this behavior is not acceptable. Tell him that if he continues that concequences will follow. Since he is lying about it, he knows that it is not acceptable. Explain to him that sex and kissing is for adults not children. Let him know that you still love him, but this is not acceptable. For a bit, I would keep him near you when he is with his sister or cousins. Good Luck!

Our children are going through puberty earlier and earlier because of all the hormones, antibiotics & every thing else in the world they give our meat animals like cows/pigs. I also cant imagine all the other foods out there now are helping either. I wouldn't totally rule out beginning puberty. The other answerers have some good ideas, Keep an eye on this. Good Luck!

I was sexually abused as a child and acted out in the same way. Take him to your doctor NOW. Don't let it ruin his childhood and possibly his life - don't let him grow up to blame you for not seeing what he was trying so hard to show you. Take him to your pediatrician and get a referral for a therapist. NOW.
He may be doing this to other children and passing the poison along - help him.

well being that he is 7 he had to have learned that somewhere before and thats where i would start.. he icould be hanging around other kids that are putting stuff like that into his mind. I wouldn't go as far as therapy yet.. but maybe what you could do is talk to a Dr. about it, and see what he suggests..

I agree with everyone else so far, it is not normal for a 7 year old to do this, take him to a Dr. and figure out why he is acting something like this out.

what exactly is you son watching or who is he watching. children this young tend to p/u on behaviours that they have seen and then they proceed to act them out. sit down and talk to him about personal space (most kids his age will undertand it.) let him know that touching someone like that is not appropriate. but just either watch what you do infront of him and make sure the t.v that he watches is not showing anything like that.
