Personally, I think everyone makes a big thing out of a child's natural curious mind. I have a 5 year old son also. He is constantly at his peepee. So I tell him to take it in his bedroom because it is his privates and no one else needs to see it. That it is for him to touch and only him unless there is something wrong and the doctor has to see it. So far he has been great, Oh yes, he still touches it when he's engrossed in a program or movie and for the most part I ignore it, unless it comes out. If this were going on at a later age, I would worry, but at 5 years old, I think it's quite natural.

Good Luck
