You are 18 and your son 12yrs old? something is not right here. While masturbation is not abnormal. It is not necessary to do it daily as it can become an undesireable habit

Many preteens masturbate as part of normal development. It’s important to talk to him about the need to be private when he masturbates, to make sure his hands are clean and to let someone know if he develops any pain.
