What should I explain to my son?

I'm a single mom and I really don't know who else to ask since his father died 2yrs ago...but my 5yr old son gets very disturbed by his "morning wood" and complains going on for it all the time. I'm not exactly how to go about explaining it to him within a way he will understand. Usually I just make clear to him to leave it alone and it will go away but I feel so doomed to failure for him because it obviously bothers him a lot. If anyone has any worthy advice I'd love to hear it. Thanks.
Can your dad or brother maybe sit him down and hold a talk about it. He would feel more comfy next to a guy he knows and trust instead of his mommy.
i don't hold a son but if i did, i'd react in a calm, matter-of-fact, and friendly means of access and reassure him by telling him that is what it's supposed to do, it's a good sign that it works properly, and that it's what stops him from peeing the bed (true: an erection prevents him from urinating).

you do NOT stipulation to go into future uses - just put in the picture him what he needs to know now and that is that it's occurring because he's a big boy who doesn't wear diapers so his body is making sure he doesn't wet the bed.

that, btw, is probably where the discomfort originates - he have to pee but he can't.
Answers:    I would find a male pediatrician and take your son to him so he can explain things approaching this to your son. Even if you were to say the same entry it will be different if it comes from a guy (kind of like a male ob/gyn recounting you what it's like to give birth) There are some things that are just received better when they come from a source who at tiniest has the potential to know the experience.

My sister has 2 boys and 2 girls and her husband is out of town a lot - she picked a mannish pediatrician just for help in explaining boy things to her boys.
Just tell him it's an erection, that someday it will be important that he gets it but right presently it's normal and okay - his body isn't hurt nor will he be hurt by it.

It's scared our 4 year old habitually enough, really freaking out, it was hard not to titter but he was so scared.
We learned about this in condition this year, and my teacher said it is normal for guys. When they sleep, their ___ gets complex and stays like that for the night. If it really hurts him a lot, I would suggest seeing a doctor... I hope your son feel better soon. Source(s): Health
my hubby say boys sometimes get that cause they need the loo try seeing if he involve to loo and if it go's down after he dose a pee if so tell him that his boy bits are telling him pee pee time
but sometimes it not cause of that surrounded by that case try explaining to him it something boys just get that girls bring dif things but it's all normal
Oh my god...just convey him it's normal and it will go away. Or that he probably has to step pee. He's 5. He will not understand what the hell you are talking about if you try to attain into it.

If it seems like he is in spasm just take him to the doctor and have him go and get checked out to rule out any potential problems, but honestly it doesnt sound like thats the case.

Good Luck
Maybe you could have a male relative talk to him around it. It would be more comfortable for him to talk to another guy about it.
if you have another mannish in your family i would have them explain to him what it is and what it money.
