DR. DOBSON: Certain childhood behaviors shouldn’t shame you

By DR. JAMES DOBSON, Focus On The Family

QUESTION: My 4-year-old has recently “discovered” his penis and seems rather preoccupied with it. Do you think it’s unusual or sinful for him to fondle himself so much?

DR. DOBSON: The answer to both of your questions is an emphatic no! Unintentional (or even intentional) self-arousal in young children, specifically boys, is neither unusual nor sinful. Your little guy is simply showing that he is “properly wired.” There are no long-term consequences to this kind of innocent childish behavior and it will soon resolve itself.
