The other day, I walked into the bathroom and caught my 11-year-old son fondling his penis. Is this normal? I remember the old warning about boys going blind from this. It's not true, is it?
– Jane
As kids mature physically and emotionally, they become increasingly curious about their sexuality and their own bodies.
Although infants and younger children do touch their own genitals from time to time because they like the way it feels, masturbation is more common in older kids, from the preadolescent and teen years and beyond.
Contrary to the beliefs of some, masturbation won't cause your son to grow hair on his hands, become infertile, go blind, or develop emotional problems. A small number of kids and teens with existing emotional problems may become preoccupied with masturbation — just as they may become overly occupied with other behaviors or thoughts.
Other than that, masturbation is generally considered by health care professionals to be a form of harmless self-exploration and sexuality. While some preteens and teens may choose to masturbate, others may not.
Because masturbation is often considered a private topic, kids can feel too embarrassed to talk about it, fearing that their parents will be angry or disappointed. Many may prefer to talk to older siblings, friends, or their doctors rather than a parent.
If you continue to be concerned or have questions about masturbation, you may want to talk to your child's doctor.

What age should you stop being naked in front of your kids?

And does it make a difference for boys and girls?
Hmmmm, now, here at MFM HQ this one's a bit of a talker for us. Whether you're a naked household, or prefer to keep your bod under wraps around the kids, is so different for everyone.
And it can change over time for people, too.
One of our mums, who's always been pretty free and easy about being naked around the house, is wondering if it's time she and her husband stopped now her daughter's 6 - and at an age where she might say things at school about mummy and daddy being 'nudey' that could get taken the wrong way.
But what do our mums think? Here's what you told us...
"I am personally not a fan of my kids seeing me naked at all.. my kids are 5 and 2 and I always wait until they are asleep before I shower, just my way of doing things," says Sophie M .
Hayley W 's OK with it, up to a point, and tells us this: "My 8 year old has no problem with seeing me naked. The only thing I have started doing is telling her to knock before walking in on me on the loo.
"She is obsessed with boobs and because I laugh when she mentions mine, she thinks it's OK to talk about them.
"Was in ASDA last week and there was a women probably in her 50s with the biggest boobs I have ever seen... and my little girl said very loudly, "Mummy I love her boobies, I wish you had them, I would want to squish them all day". I smiled and very quickly walked to the next aisle. So embarrassing."
Leanne S reckons it's best to take the lead from your kids on when to stop being naked around them, though she reckons there are definitely benefits to letting your littles see you nude.
She says: "I guess I'll know that my kids are uncomfortable seeing me naked when they stop walking in the bathroom when I'm in the bath or on the loo.
"To be honest I'd much prefer to have a poo on my own! On a serious note I do think it helps see 'normal' bodies as opposed to girls in music videos and magazines/posters etc.
"It's OK if your body is not 'perfect'." Hear, hear to that ?
On the issue of whether you'd actually differently around a boy as opposed to a girl, Malgorzata H tells us:
"I'll possibly never stop being naked in front of my daughter until her adulthood! In regards to my son probably when he reaches 3-4 years of age ?
"I think it's when they start seeing differences in sexes and their speech is developed then is time to put some underwear on - when coming out of bathroom etc you wouldn't like your little one saying at nursery 'my daddy has a big willy!'"
And this advice, from Amy H - is, we reckon, probably spot on for lots of us: "I think as long as you're ok with it and your child doesn't feel uncomfortable then it's fine.
"I will never make a big deal of nudity with my children unless they say to me, "Mum I don't feel comfortable seeing you naked."
"Then I would make sure they don't have to. It's just a body at the end of the day. We all have one."

I saw it -- I'm not blind: The hair peeking from under those arms and the little sprinkle of it Down There, too. The curvy hips and shapely legs and the bubble booty that would make the über-curvy Beyoncé do a double take.
"The signs of puberty are a teachable moment," says one doctor. "Let children know they're okay the way they are."
The changes were hard for me to miss; after all, I still supervised my 8-year-old's nightly supersplashy baths -- the ones she happily shared with her little sister, a gang of doll babies, and a school of rubber fish. Still, when the pediatrician told my husband and me that it was time for us to have a talk with Mari about puberty, we were stunned into silence. How, after all, do you tell a child who still worships SpongeBob, Hubba Bubba bubble gum, and baths for two about boobs, bras, periods, cramps, zits, and PMS? We. Were. Not. Ready.
But clearly, we needed to get ready, because our little girl's body was starting to make the long, slow journey toward becoming a young woman's, and despite our collective freak-out, holding out on the info was no longer an option.
Ivor Horn, M.D., a Washington, D.C., pediatrician who counsels her patients' parents about puberty, acknowledges that parents are uncomfortable with such conversations because all too many of us have memories of our own experiences with parents too embarrassed or unwilling to spill. But, argues Horn, it's imperative that we inform our kids about the changes occurring in their bodies -- before they get the crazy version of "facts" from fellow prepubescent playmates in the schoolyard.
"The signs of puberty are a teachable moment," adds Horn, herself a mom of two, ages 7 and 9. "It's important to let children know they're okay the way they are, that you love them that way, that the changes in their body are normal, and they can come to you with any questions."
The comforting thing here is that if you and your child are staring puberty in the face and -- like Nick, me, and Mari -- your panties are in a bunch about it, you're not alone. Lucky for us, we're not the first to have kids going through The Change, and we sure as shooting won't be the last. So to help us through, I asked moms in the thick of puberty for useful tips.
What to Expect When You Have a Girl
When to expect it: Between 9 and 13 (there's a wide range of normal here!)
What to expect: The estrogen that's being pumped into your tween's body from her ovaries causes breast budding -- small bumps behind the nipples. Eventually the nipples and buds will get bigger, darker, and sometimes even pointy, becoming rounder and fuller over time. Her boobs will feel a little tender, and one breast may be bigger than the other. Let her know that this is totally normal and won't last forever. It's OK to give her acetaminophen if she's particularly sore. At this stage, you might want to get her a cupless or sports bra to help give her support and protect her tender breast tissue from rubbing against material that might irritate her, says Sherrie Strong, owner of a lingerie store in Snellville, Georgia.
How to deal: It's going to be hard adjusting to your daughter's new body, particularly if she's filling out quickly and looking more like a woman than a little girl. Try not to make a big deal about it -- she's probably self-conscious enough. Tori (not her real name), a Frisco, Texas, mom of four, simply put her daughter Gabi (not her real name), then 12, in a T-shirt to help her get a visual on why she needed a bra. Ally (not her real name), a New York City mom, gave her daughter, Carmen (not her real name), now 12, a bra heads-up about two years ago. "I just treated it like getting broccoli," says Ally. "When we went to Target, I'd say, 'Hey, pick out some bras you like and throw them in the basket.' Now she loves them so much she sleeps in them." Parenting.com: How to get your kid to open up to you
Tori had a hard time finding a bra that fit Gabi properly. Eventually a friend who works at Victoria's Secret offered to measure her daughter so they'd know exactly what size to buy. Getting fitted is a smart move; go as often as you would have her sized for shoes, says Strong: "Some girls seem to go to sleep an A cup and wake up the next day a C cup." Wearing a bra that fits well will help protect her from backaches, uncomfortable straps, and stretch marks, which come when the tissue in the breast is unsupported, she adds.
When to expect it: Between 10 and 15, with most typically getting their periods about two years after their breasts start to develop. Many girls also get a vaginal mucus-like discharge about six months before they menstruate for the first time.
What to expect: She's likely to have all the symptoms you have when you get your period: backaches, cramps, acne, PMS -- the works. Don't expect it to be regular at first -- it can take as long as two years before she'll establish a cycle.
How to deal: My talk with my mom about menstruation went something like this:
Me: "Mommy? We learned about periods in health class today. The teacher said we should get this kit. It comes with books and pads and stuff."
That was it. I don't want this for Mari and her 6-year-old sister, Lila, and you probably don't either. If you haven't already, tell your tween what will happen. No need to get all technical about it, just say, "Every girl's reproductive system -- the part that helps your body make babies when you're a grown-up -- is going to start working. There will be blood. You are not going to die. It's natural and normal. It'll be yucky. And sometimes your tummy will hurt. And you'll have a really bad attitude. But it happens to all of us."
One way to start the discussion might be the way Tori did: when her girls discovered her pads and tampons in the bathroom. "My motto is if they ask, I'll answer the best I can. I did tell them how to use pads, and that they'd get cramps, backaches, acne, and all that good stuff."
Though my mom wasn't nearly as communicative, the kit she eventually purchased for me certainly helped prepare me for what was to come. I also remember thinking it was incredibly cool to have my own stash of stuff. You can buy some kits online -- the Dot Girl's First Period Kit (available at http:/
