I know this is a odd question

I too don't know the correct meaning of wiener? What does it means? Is it offensive?

yes i did encounter the same issue. i simply avoided the conversation. i would change the topic.

Children always keep curious on their ages. You should meet his curioustiy if he put forward any questions. questions appropriate or inappropriate are not question. Question is you should know how to answer his question.

Hi. lvmybz. You will just have to tell him that you don't want to show him your private parts. You want him to wait until he is older enough to know about these type of things. My son asks me about his private parts and why he has certain things on it. In a mommy voice, I tell him that these are his private areas and it is personal. Your son is just curious and I am sure that you will tell him the truth once he gets older enough to know.

Yes, explaining to him about the difference between man and woman or boy and girl is a good idea. SHOWING him, however, is entirely inappropriate. You could try to explain to him that showing your 'thing' would be inappropriate behaviour, but at that age, I'm not sure if he will really understand it. Instead, you could show him a picture of a boy and a girl and point out the differences, in my opinion.

Maybe just be frank with him.Just tell that only a male have a wiener and woman don't have it. I have see the same things happen as well, but usually they will ask why their little sister don't have it. And most of the parents will just tell why like what I said just now. Sooner or later he will understand it.

You may want to use this as a time to teach about modesty, and self protection. Your body belongs to you, his belongs to him and he should not show his body just because someone asks, even someone he knows. I would talk with the doctor about it, and just be very matter of fact with your son. Possibly some anatomically correct dolls would help with his curiosity.

I don't think it is inappropriate to show your son your "thing". Just like you said, he is just curious, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I have a 5 yo son myself and we sometimes take a shower together, and sometimes with his mom too.

Hi lvmybz, I've encountered this before. I've got a son that's 8 years old now and 4 years back he asked about, what a wiener was. It was very troublesome at the start but after some days of deep thought i decided him to tell that he has his own wiener. He wasn't scared or frustrated at all, just happy that i told him. Some tips that i could give you would be: 1. You must know for sure that he really wants to see a "Wiener". 2. Overthink it for some days, then decide. 3. If he gets scared, tell him that it is a very normal thing for men to have a "Wiener" Well good luck!
