I had some problems with my son when his body started changing.He just didn't know what to think about the hair growth. He would point to himself and he even showed his self to my sister-inlaw.At that very moment his dad and I let him know this was awful and took away a lot of things he liked to do.We love him very much and have spoiled him. Being firm at the time it happens works best for us. Also I have found that if I tell him this makes me sad it bothers him. Thankfully THAT problem has stopped.
