You really should not be looking anymore. Just FYI.[/quote]

:shock:
  NP here. I am also shocked by how people are shocked about this. I have a similarly aged son, and I am supposed to monitor him to see if he needs intervention for precocious puberty. Neither him nor me are fazed by it or feel awkward by it.   I think it all depends on how you approach the human anatomy and health.  You can either shame your children, or you can be clinical about it.   Monitoring growth and health is not sexual - you can do it without making a production of it .  The child is still young enough that the parents have to be vigilant. It is not that it is an adult offspring and you are checking the size of their testicles.

BTW - after my delivery, my mom took care of me. If I apply the logic of the pearl clutchers, it would be horrifying that my mom saw my body parts.[/quote]
The doctor cant monitor him?[/quote]

:roll: Yes, the Dr. (ped endo) monitors him once in 4 months. I am supposed to report to him if I see some very specific changes. However, the point is not that I am monitoring for some medical reason, the point is that 12 is still a young child and if parents see them naked it if not a big deal.  I think only people who have weird family dynamics would think too much about it.
