Our two year old son likes to put his hands down his pants all the time, any suggestions on how to cure this habit. We have resorted to onesies all the time, other suggests are welcome

I would probably ask for

I would probably ask for suggestions from your son's pediatrician. I've heard that this is common, like a habit that maybe you can break by positive reinforcement.

Two other Moms have similar

Two other Moms have similar posts going on, so know you are not alone. Everyone seems to be in agreement that it is very, very normal, and the child should understand that touching is OK, but it needs to be in private. I have a book that supports that, and I think it is the advice our pediatrician gave me the first time we went through it a few years ago. My 6 year old will still grab himself on the outside of his pants and needs to be reminded that upsets people. I am not sure he is even aware he is doing it sometimes.

Just be prepared, it is a love affair men of all ages seem to have, but at this age it is very innocent and not adult in nature at all.

You'll have to repeat

You'll have to repeat yourself, just like anything else with a 2-year-old - take your finger out of your nose, drop the cat, let go of your penis.
