My 4year old mast ri bates 4 times daily, how can i help him?
Answers:
I hope you mean 'help him' stop masturbating, not 'help him' masturbate. Either way, masterbation is perfectly normal in children (and adults). What you do want to do is make sure he's not raw down there. He could have a urinary tract infection, jock itch, or other problem that makes him rub himself. If, on the other hand (no pun intended), he is actually masturbating, do not embarrass him or make him feel that he's dirty or wrong. Explain to him, in a calm and reassuring way, that what he is doing is a private thing, and needs to be done in his room, not in front of you. You can always call his doctor for advice. The doctor might want to see your son to make sure there's not a physical ailment.

It's normal. Don't stop him unless he's doing it in public.
I'm no expert, but this is just an idea.
Give him something else for him to play with. he's just curiuos, but it may affect him when he's older so you may want to change his attention's focus.
it's not wrong to be curious.
You should speak with his pediatrician about how to hanle this.
He's figuring out what's down there and how it feels. He's too young to be really "sexual." It's more of an inquisitive thing. Teach him about the right place and right time for such things. That will help him to develop a healthy relationship with his body and avoid any negativity regarding how his body works.
Go back in your time machine and stop yourself from masterbating in from of him.
My three year old also master bates. Has done so ever since he could walk. He actually use to do it to feet. He had a huge fetish with feet.
It did not matter where we were he would do it. Now i have not stopped him from doing it as it is quite natural for children to do this. Some babies still in diapers do this. I know that sounds gross but alas it is true.
Do not teach your child that it is a disgusting thing to do, just try and teach them that it is something that they should do in private. When it starts tell them to go to their room and shut the door. At least this way your child should hopefully learn that when they do want to do this, they should do it in private.
My child now goes to his room ever time he does this and I have noticed of late that it is becoming less and less frequent.
There is no way in sensible terms,without badgering your child, that you can get them to stop this habit. Do not tell them it is disgusting or anything like that, they simply will not understand.
Sending to their bedroom and ignoring it is the best way...

it is completely normal. dont yell at him or tell him not to. make sure that he knows that he needs to do that when he is in the privacy of his room.
No he doesn't. Maybe he is rubbing himself, but true maturbation doesn't start this young.
Tell him it,s not polite to do it in public or in front of anyone to go to his room and that should be the only place he should do this! He'll grow out of it soon!!

What he's doing is completely natural. You should never make him feel that what he is doing is wrong or dirty. When you catch him doing it try telling him thats just for the bedroom or bathroom, the private areas. Eventually he will learn, my son did.
I had the exact same problem with my four year old. I checked him for a rash, (didn't have one) asked him if it hurt (he said it didn't) yelled, bribed, and begged for him to stop.
Finally, I asked my mom what to do and she told me that chances are it was uncomfortable for him. He might feel restricted and maybe itchy from sweating. Then she sent me to walmart to go find some little boy boxers.
Once I switched him to boxers he pretty much quit. Every once and a while I see him do it (I think that's normal though) but over all the problem has ceased.
