"but I'm not sure that Peter was ready to be having those conversations at that age." If he was raised in a open manner like this before(I don't know that), then I don't think this would have been a problem. Children understand way more, than most people usually asume. Sexuality is something natural. Only when it is taboo, talking about it directly can create psychological pressure that could indeed cause harm, as then they don't know how to deal with the situation. So having those conversations with someone who was raised in a monastery before could indeed be troublesome - or liberating, if the boy is glad he finally found someone who he can speak openly about things, no one else would dare to explain.
