Hi everyone!
First of all thank you for taking the time to respond to this concern of mine. My stepson is 8, he will be 9 this October. I recently have found "Love letters" that he writes to his teacher around the house, just saying stuff like "I love your Mrs. so and so " and "I really like you etc.." which i found to be very normal. Just recently i found letters in his backpack that where a bit disturbing to me. The letters I found is where he writes of wanting to touch intimate parts, about getting married, and having sex. My husband and I have been very careful about not doing it or talking about when the kids are around, but I just didn't realize that kids are getting this stuff somewhere else. I just don't know how i should talk to him about this, because i don't want him to think that sex is bad, is a very natural thing that happens between a married couple. I just need some pointers on best way to deal with this when he gets home. Thank you so much everyone!
 
I guess you can start by asking him where did he came from. If he answers "my mom and dad had sex and after nine months out I go" tell him he is wrong. His parents made love and he is the by product of this love. Point out to him that sex is only for two adult people who are in love and committed to each other. He has probably watch too much porn stuff maybe from his friends house or through the internet that why he is getting this strange attitude.
 
I would talk to him about it.
Be firm, but caring.
Ask him where he got those ideas from.

He's a bit young to be thinking, let alone writing these things about a teacher.
I can understand that whole "I like you", but this is a bit much.
Talk to him now before it gets out of hand when he is older.
