7 year old telling his classmates that he's having sex?

i got a call from his teacher saying that he was spreading around the cafeteria the fact that he was having sex with his "friend from camp". ok, 1, he didn't go to camp. and 2. he doesn't even know what sex is ( last week he made that clear to us when he asked if sex is when you kiss each other naked). so why would he do this?

He's tryin' to be a hot shot. No big deal, but you are gonna need to rein him in and let him know that's something you don't joke about. Good luck with the little stud.
Reply:I've raised three kids, and have two grandkids....1. he may be calling out for love and attention....2. mimicking TV dialogue, and 3. may need counseling.





Been through all of that with my kids and the hundreds of kids I've counseled and dealt with family issues for.





Fortunately, you have discovered it early....but you need to do a gentle heart to heart Q and A with your child and if you feel that the behaviour can't be solved at home, with changes there, it may be wise to seek professional help.
Reply:Maybe its time you told him what sex was...It's between a mommy and daddy who love each other and or married...not between people who meet at camp. Its a bond between two people in LOVE.....you should teach him before someone else does
Reply:well u need to be finding out whose getting naked with him and kissing. sounds like ur child is with someone he shouldnt be. could be anyone so better start checkin things out. someone older maybe
Reply:Underage insecurity---this kid thinks he has to impres people and he is using the sex talk as an effort to appear all grown up--please just ignore it all--he will get the message if you just walk away from him when he starts this stuff. There may be a deep seated problem that causes the lying--so do not be in his face about it--just walk away ---don't acknowledge it. Don't kid or give him wrong information---do not belittle him either. Some how he feels inferior and has to make up all this stuff.
Reply:He is probably jsut trying to get attention. Just explian to him that sex isnt something to joke about. And maybe you should get him involved in some kind of after school sport or club, like boy scouts so that he can make friends in other ways.

Reply:Little pimp. He probably learned it from his uncle. Does he have an uncle? I've got nephews and I teach them improper behavior all the time.
Reply:has he seen a movie recently about camp and preteens??


sounds like a movie plot and he is copy-catting


just explain to him that he cannot talk about it at school


and then ask him if he knows what sex is and if he says no then tell him not to talk about things he does not know about


but remember that he is now 7 and it is probably time for an age appropriate talk about adult actions.
Reply:He's trying to be cool and feel ahead of the game. If he doesn't know what sex is, chances are his classmates don't either, so he's trying to show off in a way. It happens, especially in boys because of their competitive nature. Don't worry, he just wants to make friends. =D
Reply:Talk to him about it. Don't punish him.
