You can help your son by being aware of the development of his body and talking to him about it.
- Check the position of the testicles regularly during diaper changing or at bath time. Keep a record of any changes.
- Give your son the vocabulary to talk about the scrotum and testicles. Explain that there are usually two testicles in the scrotum.
- When he's about to reach puberty — usually around sixth grade — and you're talking about what physical changes to expect, explain how he can check his testicles.
