ok im a mom of 2 tween boys and i recently discovered my older son, 12, has been masturbating for 4 months now. ok now i remember what it was like at that age, exploring my own sexuality and masturbating. i dont want him to feel like he is doing something wrong nor do i want to scar him for life. i want him to feel like he can come to me and talk openly about sex, drugs, smoking....anything.
is this something a parent should know about their kids? would you want to know you kids are experimenting with sex? how do you keep the lines of communication open so your kids can come to you and talk.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
My teacher says there is nothing wrong with masturbation. As a matter of fact it is the safest sex you can have. It does not scar you for life even if you do it ten times a day.
Joke about with him and make him feel comfortable, what he probably needs is some support and advice when he wants it.
To be honest it is not something you need to know about as it is personal to him, let him make it your business if he has any questions about it but let him ask the questions and you answer them.
It isn't anything to worry about, it is a perfectly natural thing for him to do. I hope this helps and if you do want to talk about this or anything else please do not hesitate to ask me.
