      My wife texted me the other day:

      You know that yellow slide our son carries around? Well, he started sticking his penis in it, you have to talk to him now.

      He’s 4. It’s just what boys do.

          Have a daughter also, so I know it all too well! Our focus is “It’s normal but private.” We will see how that goes.

            That’s gonna be our approach, too with our kiddo.

            It’s a hard one to fight your own overly-conservative programming in order to teach a healthier outlook to your kids. Hard to know if you’re going too far one way or the other. So much of parenting you just don’t know if you’re doing it right until you’re done.

            Fist-bump from one internet parent to another, you’re doing a great job ✌️

      I dont think 15yo penises fit into fidget spinners, but Im not an expert on child genitalia.
