My second son is 3 going on 4. He's been fiddling with his private parts constantly since going off diapers in the day. It even went to the extent of pulling down his pants and fiddling in public. I'm irritated and disgusted and haven't been able to respond positively. * My eldest went through this period too, without the public exposure. I have tried the hard (threaten) and soft (telling him it's shameful) way of broaching the subject. It is still happening. What else should I do to stop that behaviour?

This is what boys do! You can talk to him and let him know that it's not appropriate to touch himself when people are around and that it must be done in private. Perfectly normal though, Mama. Don't worry about it. I mean, he's got this thing just hanging there, I'd be curious too LOL
