Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion you should talk to him about it that it is a normal phenomenon which occurs in every male. Tell him but it is a private thing which is not shown or done publicly. Also tell him that it is private part so it is to be touched in private quarters only. Also inform him that it is private but not secret so that if anyone touches his private parts or discusses it in front of him he should report to a trusted adult.
After this if he has any query please answer him in as genuine way as possible.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
