How can i get my 2 yo brother to stop playing with himself when i give him a bath or change his diaper?

every single time his fingers are always in his private areas. how can i get him to stop? my 6 yo bro didn't do this when he was a toddler.How can i get my 2 yo brother to stop playing with himself when i give him a bath or change his diaper?
Having three boys myself, I don't believe this is something you can stop, as it's a natural part of a baby or toddler discovering things about his body. I wouldn't be too concerned unless he's doing it in public...How can i get my 2 yo brother to stop playing with himself when i give him a bath or change his diaper?

He is simply exploring his body. As an infant he probally did the same thing with his hands and feet, now he has that mastered he is moving on to something else. He has no idea what a %26quot;private part%26quot; is he has no idea what privacy is. Sounds like he is right on track with his development. He will grow out of it or eventually learn the definition of privacy and %26quot;play with himself%26quot; then. Either way it is nothing to worry about.

You can't stop it. He's only 2. They all do that. Even little girlsHow can i get my 2 yo brother to stop playing with himself when i give him a bath or change his diaper?

My question would be this: why do you think he shouldnt touch his private parts?



I took a Human Sexuality class in college and my son was around that age at the time. I remember asking my professor about it and I'll never forget her answer -- she said, %26quot;Well, he's exploring his body, and also, it feels good when he touches himself down there; not in a sexual way, of course, but your private areas are full of nerve endings. It feels nice to touch there. There's no reason he shouldnt enjoy doing it.%26quot;

My son used to sit on the couch with his hand in his pants. I just always casually told him %26quot;that's something you should do when you are alone.%26quot; I had to tell him quite a few times but after a while he got the idea.



I guess the bottom line is that you dont want him to feel ashamed or feel as if he is doing anything wrong. You want him to grow up to be comfortable with his body.



Hope this helps!How can i get my 2 yo brother to stop playing with himself when i give him a bath or change his diaper?
You can't stop him. It feels good. What possible argument could you give him that would persuade him not to do it? The only thing you can do is to remind him that we don't do that in front of others, just by ourselves.How can i get my 2 yo brother to stop playing with himself when i give him a bath or change his diaper?
my nephew does that just tap his hand and tell him no.How can i get my 2 yo brother to stop playing with himself when i give him a bath or change his diaper?
There's really nothing you can do to stop him from doing this. Kids do this for the same reason they put their fingers in their nose...because they can and because it's there. If it makes you uncomfortable, try redirecting his attention with a toy or a song with hand movements like Itsy Bitsy Spider, Little Bunny Foo Foo, or I'm a Little Teapot.
