Hi,
Children at even early ages do get erections, that is not a problem, they try to experiment and exploring; flashing behavior is very common in children as part of exploring their body. Don't worry about it. Make sure he gets distracted to other things and avoid showing him any sexually explicit material on TV.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
