I was upset because he kept lying to me and telling me he didn't know what he was doing. He knows what boobs are and is very interested in body parts. Anyone have any advise. I think I handled this poorly. I was getting upset and it was because we've talked to him before about this. He was crying when he finally told me what he did and I explained to him that he needed to be honest when I asked him what he was doing. We have blocks for "adult content" but "boobs" fell under comedy and humor...not sure what to do...any advise??????

Kids are naturally curious. It is probably all it is.
I agree he should not have lied. Take him to the library
and get him a medical book. You both can read it and he
can ask questions. At least he will be learning the proper names.
Good luck.

He is just a late bloomer. My nephew didn't start talking till he was about your sons age. Just give him time. Meanwhile just be very clear with your words and try to encourage him to repeat them. If he is still not talking in a year or so then you can take him to a speech pathologist and have him evaluated. My cousin couldn't say complete sentences till he was 4 1/2. He had this disorder where the signals between his brain and his mouth weren't working right. Once they figured this out he was talking up a storm in no time. I think your little guy is just taking his time and will probably start gabbing away pretty soon! Good Luck and God Bless! p.s. Maybe you can try the baby signs DVD. This will help him express himself more and not feel pressured or stressed when he cant get his point across. My 11 month old neice already is learning some of the signs from the books and DVDs.

Im surprised he didnt get a link to the US Congress.
Seriously, the issue is trust, not that he was searching for "boobs" (Actually, I spent most of my high school years searching for boobs). Explain to him that you are not upset about what he was searching for, but you are upset that he 1) broke the rules, and 2) lied about it. It isnt about "boobs".

Well its part of growing up,remember when we were young and curious.The best thing is to have the adult block,but there is so much more that he can get into accidentally and with info from his buddies.You can go into arts and sciences web sites and see all you can see on playboy,believe me.The best way is just take away the PC,but he will always find away to see things he's curious about,He is a boy and it sounds like a normal boy.At least he was looking at women,be thankfull for that.

Why was he on the computer unsupervised? Stop relying on the "blocks" and start doing YOUR job as a parent and supervise your child's activities on the internet.

Kids this age and guess what even older are curious as to what things look like on the opposite sex {and sometimes same sex}. Wait until he is a teenager and he starts looking at total nudes, its actually to be expected. I raised my two nephews and the first time I found porn on the computer I freaked out! And they denied it as I expected. I do not approve of porn but I know that I can not stop them and frankly Ive come to this conclusion I'd rather they be looking at it instead of out someone doing it if you know what I mean.

aww..how embarrassing for your son. All children are curious though. Don't make him uncomfortable by talking about it, unless he talks to you first. If I were you I would make light of the subject
:)

he is probably just curious, i would let him know that things like that, that he has a question about, is okay to ask you or dad. he needs to know that the computer is for fun or school work. and to be honest, if that were one of my kids, i would probably tell them they would be grounded off the computer until i could trust they are not looking for things like that on the computer. it isnt dirty, but there is no telling what he couldve seen. explain to him that there are bad things on the comp. good luck
