How do you react when your 9 yr old proclaims "I know what a boner is"

He is trying to assert his dominance. It is a power play. You need to punch him in the throat immediately, then stand over him and taunt him while he tries to breath. Works every time.

Jesus christ.

I just told him to "yeah. ok, sit down". that's all I could think to say to that. wtf.

Smurf... I've got 9yo triplets. The 2 boys have recently discovered that Mr. Winkie does tricks. Once I found out, I sat them down and explained puberty, the basic physiology of the mail body and the most basic info on procreation without details of the sex act. We will continue this dialog. They found most of the discussion very funny as 9yo will do when they are embarrased by a subject. I ws dreading the day but it did not go bad. I've also had the drugs and alcohol discussion. At least round 1.

I'm letting my wife handle my 9yo daughter and her 5 yo sister.

yeah we havent had the masturbation talk but he also knows what it is because he heard a reference to it on tv and started being all "ewwww. did you hear that mom. he said masturbation" but i neglected to get into a conversation about it lolloll.
he understands pregnancy but we havent had the sex talk or even discussed the basic act. i want to wait until he is older.

Did you tell him you love boners?

 

[heatherrae]

What's a boner?

If your not up front with your kids, they'll get their info from somewhere else. It may be a bit uncomfortable but better off you than him going to school asking friends.

NEO:"I know kung fu!"

LOL@ "the masterbation conversation"... you think he hasn't been pullin on his pud since he first found it when he was a baby?!

Tell him he can ask you anything he wants to know about his body and talk openly. The first time is always the hardest but once you realize that the earth will not open up and swallow you whole it becomes A LOT easier. Just wait till he has sex ed and asks you, "Mom, what is a venerial wart and what is anal sex?"



Seriously, it ain't that big a deal.
