Tricia and Nancy discuss what to do if your child is showing his privates.  How do you handle it and what can you do to help your child understand that Privates are Private?
Here are a few tips:

* Don’t freak and if you do, don’t show it.
* Figure out what is going on.
* Very young kids can seem immodest and may display curiosity about other people’s bodies and bodily functions.  These can include touching women’s breasts, wanting to watch when grownups go to the bathroom, wanting to be naked (even if others are not) and showing or touching private parts while in public. They are curious about their own bodies.
* When you are ready and they are ready, ask open-ended questions (and they are old enough to answer)

What were you doing?
How did you get the idea?
How did you learn about this?
How did you feel about doing it?

* Have a general discussion about what is private and what to do if someone invades your privacy.

Some causes for concern:

* Actions beyond their developmental stage (or language)
* Actions with threat or aggression
* Actions between kids of very different ages
