Hi,
My son has recently turned 10, I've noticed for a while now, that he stares at people quite a bit. We was at a park yesterday and there were lots of Gypsy's that were throwing glass bottles, swearing and being loud around some of he a school children, who were at the park. I didn't want to attract the wrong attention from them and I explained to him not to stare at people like that, as they are unpredictable. I think he's curious and working out what different people are like, but I've explained to him it can come across as rude, he doesn't always do it, but sometimes it's noticeable. Do I keep correcting him, or is it just something that some children do and he'll grow out of. I know I was always staring at people as a child myself and a man (who had a big birth mark across his face) asked me what I was looking at once, I never stared again after that.
Is it work correcting? Or shall I just leave it?
Thanks in advance!
