I am a retired RN. People frequently ask my advise.This is a hard one for me and I don t want to give bad advise. The person cares for her grand son was checking on him in the play room. He was naked and his doll was naked, both under a blanket and he (4 years old) had an erection.Looking for advise on how to answer his question. I did tell her not to scold him,but I wasn t sure how to procede. She doesn t want to say anything to the parents at this time,not sure of their response. any advise?

hello
How are you?
I heard your problem
It is a normal physiology and need not to worry. Erection starts from very early stage in mother's womb. Its normal for the 4 year old boy. He will not have pain and any other type of feelings so don't worry about it. Erection occurs 4-6 times a day in baby
Hope you are satisfied by this explanation
thank you
