    It could be something as innocent as him accidentally catching his parents in the act recently, or it could go as dark as him having been/is being forced to perform sexual acts with someone (not necessarily parents). I would talk to him about it and based on his responses I would consider talking to one of your superiors.

    Yeah it could be because the kid caught patents in the act, or he saw a porn but keep an eye on them because these days you never know.

    That sounds like a very tricky situation. I agree with the poster that you shouldn't be talking to the child about sex, but I think it's valid to ask him or her why they drew the picture. I think the answer to that question alone should inform what you do next.

    Be careful with how you talk to the parents about it. Accusing someone of being a pedophile can get you in a lot of trouble.

      Slander is also hurtful, so approaching it as innocent is best and then trust your instinct after that!

  • Yes. Your first instinct should be to contact the parents. Possibly have a conference with them.

    Talk to another more experienced teacher about it and get their advice.

    DO NOT TALK TO THE STUDENT ABOUT IT. the last thing a teacher should talk to a first grade student about is sex. Call the parents and talk to them.

    Well that seems normal to me because I know of someone who did the same thing...but that kid was only 6 years old & the sex was with a cousin.
    Though its a young age, it could be just the kid expressing his/her fantasy without actually physically doing something about it..however, this kid was also molested by her older brother for a couple of years. :S

    Don't talk to the kid about sex. Do talk to the kid's parents.

    Take it to your boss... Dont talk to the kid or parents untill you see what your boss wants to do about it. If you take matters into your own hands you could end up losing your job & even the chance of becoming a teacher in the future.

    I find it strange that a first grade teacher has to ask a question like that on a site like this. Your either lying about it and the fact that u r a teacher or just dumb. I think a teacher should know what to do in a situation like that.

      It may not sound right but accusing her of lying is a bit of a stretch.

    well they are already getting curious on sex and since 1st graders havent hit puberty yet they can have as much sex as they want without getting girls pregnant
