    Default s/o How would you answer these questions

    and recommend a good book for a 3.5 yr old to help answer more questions that are coming.

    - Why does my penis get bigger when I touch it?

    - What's inside here? (scrotum)

    - How did you start having conversations about appropriate and inappropriate touching? Book or movie rec?

    TIA

    For the 1st, i'd probably just say that is how all penises work. It is normal, like how you yawn when you are tired or shiver when you are cold. Not sure if that's the best answer but it meets the goal of being true, reassuring and vague (for an age that doesn't deal with complexity well).
    DD - barely 5
    DS - almost 3
