Question 1

my young daughter age 7 seen my son 13 masterbate in his room.  how  do i deal with both of them. this  us so awkward ..thanks ?

Accepted Answer

Many issues: How old is your daughter?  How have you prepared your son for sexual maturity?  If your daughter is old enough to begin to know what is going on and is not too young as to be totally naive, then you must sit down and discuss this with her in an appropriate way.  You cannot hide nature.  You must sit down and talk with your son and let him know the appropriateness of his actions so or the inapprop.

Question 2

my daughter is 13 years old but has matured rather quick... recently we found that she had been involved in sexual activities... she now came to me asking me if its normal for her to masturbate all the time and feel as horny as she does.please help?

Accepted Answer

Teen masterbation: Sexual activity in childhood may be an awkward subject but one that can be a normal aspect of sexuality.   Your concerns should be discussed with your child's medical care provider as it is important that safer sex measures and pregnancy prevention are addressed early.  You may also want to find some books written directly for your child's age group about the subject that you can share.

Question 3

14 year old daughter caught masterbating with moms sex toy and what to do dad gets mad says she is to young to do this ?

Accepted Answer

Teenagers : Masturbation is a very normal and healthy aspect of puberty and adolescent development. Dad probably needs to do some reading to educate himself on normal teenage sexual maturation. Mom needs to hide her sex toys better so that this can remain a private experience for both parties

Question 4

is it normal for a six year old female child to touch themself or masterbate ? what can be going on ?

Accepted Answer

Normal behavior: Beyond infancy, sexual behaviors increase as toddlers become more aware of their body parts, including their genitals, sensations deriving from their genitals, and gender differences. In general, sexual behaviors in children of this age group are normal. Talk to your pediatrician if concerned.

Question 5

until what age is it okay/proper for a son/daughter to co-sleep/ sleep beside a parent? why and why not? thanks

Accepted Answer

Asked/answered: A parents primary role is teaching their child to be a successful individual &amp; foster self worth. That includes teaching them to toilet, clean,dress, feed,  themselves. It includes letting them learn they can go by themselves on the bus like the other kids rather than be chauffeured everywhere. Self worth/confidence is built one encounter at a time.Sleeping alone is part of this.

Question 6

i am a 16 year old teenager, and i have been masturbating for about 6 years now, since i was 10 years old, and started edging when i was about 13, because of starting masturbation at such a young age, is there a chance my penis stopped growing?

Accepted Answer

Unrelated: Your penis grows to whatever size/length it will attain based on a complex interaction between genetics &amp; hormonal stimulation. Your sexual activity whether alone or with a partner has no effect on the final outcome. At 16 you may have more time to grow.

Question 7

Question 8

if a father is speechless and i married his daughter what is the percentage of  having a speechless son in my sons ? thank you

Accepted Answer

Need more history: I am assuming you are referring to hearing impairment and subsequent lack of speech. Hearing impairment can be caused by gene mutations or inherited, or could be caused by intrauterine infection, such as congenital rubella, or high fever in infancy, such as measles.   If genetic, it is usually caused by recessive genes. If it is on the X gene, then 50% of sons are affected, otherwise much lower.

Question 9

wish someone could explain why my son (9) and i both get canker sores every month- sometimes a couple. my daughter (13) never does. feel bad for him.

Accepted Answer

Inflammatory disease: Recurrent stomatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease the cause is still unknown.
Factors predisposing patients to recurrent aphthous ulcers (canker sores) may include trauma, emotional stress, poor nutritional status, thiamine deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency,celiac disease, menstruation, food hypersensitivity (eg, cow's milk) allergic reactions, exposure to toxins.

Question 10

if your mother has 50% blocked carotid
arteries at 75+ at what age should the son or daughter be checked (screened)are there symptoms to look out for?

Accepted Answer

There is no good way: to infer from your mother's clinical situation to yours. Many things other than genetics affect the development of atherosclerotic disease. For asymptomatic individuals screening is not indicated. Symptoms are TIAs, dizzy spells, bruit on exam or stroke.
