is this normal for a 4 year old boy?


My four and a half year old brother seems to "like" girls. For instance,the girl on the tony hawk game HAS to wear the "humps" shirt(sports bra/tube top).I've also seen him flirt with a women before. Is it normal at this age?Im just curious.....

Answers:
I have five kids three boys and two girls and they all have there own personality and my two girls were flirting at that age my boys are more shy but by 6 were also little flirts. There's nothing to be alarmed about .

Yeah my 4 year old cousin has multiple girlfriends...

I think they are just curious too.

Not quite normal, but way to go lil' brother! lol...how cute, He is gonna be a heartbreaker!


Yes, he is a totally normal 4 year old boy.

Um...I am not sure if it "normal" but I don't think it is abnormal either. Probably just a phase...Hopefullly.

Yes it is normal Yes, they think its cool because thats what the older guys do


thats very adorable..im not an expert but girl let the little guy hav some fun while he can...

i guess its normal. my lil cuz was a ladies man when he was 4

yea lol i guess so


mmmmmmm i guess it all depends how he is treated at home if he realises being flirty gets him something at home than he will do it in public maybe he just likes the attention and these days kids seem to pick everything up, you never know he may just be a heartbreaker when he gets older

Totally normal I think. My 2 year old nephew likes women with large breasts and painted toe nails. He's flirts constantly in public places.

his hormones are coming in early. You shouldn't worry about it, at least he's not gay. dont worry, after a couple of years, he will play with boys...then like girls again few years later...


ive seen little boys run sround at partys kissing the little girls ( most of parents saying go on give her a kiss cause they think its cute ) but not actually flirting never really seen that before maybe he is a young starter better keep an eye on him lol

My son was 'engaged' at the age of 4.

Yeah my 4 year old son flirts with girls all the time. It was worse when he was 2 and 3 though. Sure he's a person too


My son first fell in love at 3. He has had a string of girlfriends since, including my brothers fiancee. I would say it is very normal. Boys will be boys.

its normal if he has influences if there are people around him doing it then he is just immitating them @ 4 the enmotions are extreme they love A LOT and Hate Alot but if u were a little boy who would u rather be around women or men? tottally natural

warm and fuzzy crushes are ok. truly hyper-sexuality could suggest exposure to more than he can process at his age, i.e. porn, molestation I think so I always liked girls for as long as I can remember. If you really want to know do something my parents never did.........get him a hooker.


they just want female friend that is all they want , not g/f. they know nothing about g/f though.

can u say P.I.M.P.!!!!!!!!! thts wat im talkin about!!!!!

my son has done this as well so i guess all kids go through it at some time or another... He's 4...he'll do what gets the best reaction.

At this age he's center stage and anything people respond to, he'll continue...if you make a big deal out of the humps...he'll keep it up until he finds something else.

He flirts because he picked up a couple of phrases that make someone he adores over react in a manner favorable to him.
He's very impressionable...teach him how to clean his room and make his bed...and you might just make it stick and then...
He'll grow out of it. According to psychoanalysts, sexuality is a gradual process that starts long before puberty, but in this case i'd say it's more likely that he's copying the behaviour a male role-model.

I've also seen this before where men who are slightly homophobic will encourage small children to be unnaturally drawn to women, usually with the opposite of the desired effect.

I'm not qualified in psychology at all, just my amature opinion :-) NO.

4 year olds should have a natural curiousity about the human anatomy in general, but such displays of sexuality and sexism should be of concern.

Ask your Mom: Do you listen to what he listens to? How does he know what a "hump" is? What does he see on TV?

Mom better nip this in the bud before he comes home, bragging about how he got some in the stairwell at school, got an STD from some "ho", or knocks a girl up and pays no mind to the situation.

Good for you for asking, but now is the time to teach PROPER sexulaity traits and definitions. Have Mom check the internet (do a Google search for "age appropriate sex talk") and get involved now.
