Isn't 8 a Little Young

Dawn is doing her best to raise 3 kids on her own. Her son just turned 8 a couple weeks ago. His b-day was hard on all of us being his first b-day without his dad. David and I have been making an effort to be there more for the kids since Jimmy's family has taken a, "leave them alone and watch them crash and burn" approach.

We just got a phone call from Dawn. After she told me what had just happened I passed the phone to David. It seems Jr had just gotten out of the shower. Her oldest, J, who is a 15 yr old girl, went to check on the kids. Jr's bedroom door was wide open. She stuck her head in to find out why he was being so quiet. He was stark naked, on his bed, ummm...playing with himself. This was not the typical kiddy playing, but full on playing. This, of course, shocked J, who told her mom, who then called us. David now gets to have, "The Talk" with Jr.

It just seems that 8 is a little young. Nickolas is 9 and hasn't (to my knowledge) attempted this yet. When he was 2ish my mom was giving him a bath when he rubbed "down there" and exclaimed, "Gammy!!! Look how big it got!!" That was pretty much the extent of his explorations.

If Jr was your kid, how would you handle it?
