My 6 year old DS attends a youth club for primary school children for 1.5 hours on a week night.
The leader has just called me to say he wants to speak about some "concerning" behaviours displayed by DS. He says he acts like a child three years older than his age, and that it is constant.
He says he is tactile (cuddly, wants to hold hands etc.).
He referred to one of the leaders as "babe".
DS is a very, tactile child and love to be close with people. We have a very open dialogue about consent and asking people before hugs etc., but it seems this needs some more work.
He said that "babe" is inappropriate for a child his age. DS will be repeating this as I often refer to him as this, as does his grandmother.
The call really caught me off guard, the way he was speaking was as if something serious was going on DS and that it may be social services worthy.
Do you agree?
