Worried about my child

[Tanon13579]

My child, aged 7, has asked 2 other children (that I know of) to pull their trousers down and sit on them.
It is not happening at school but at playdates.
I don't know what to do about this - they are a very good child otherwise, with no real issues. Doing well at school in terms of friendships and also schoolwork. Very happy and chatty with children and adults.
But this doesn't seem to be within the realms of what's normal to me? I think I'm going to make an appointment at school to discuss, even though it hasn't happened at school (again, that I know of) but I would be really interested to hear from anyone with similar experiences. Thank you x

anyone?

Children often copy physical actions so is there anything that he/she could be copying.

Unsupervised web access? Spends time in another household? Has a View into another house from a bedroom window?

What other environments do they visit? Anything in their TV viewing?

You obviously need to talk to your child. Express how inappropriate their behaviour is and ask what's going on with them eg are they online? Is someone doing the same to them? I would phone the NSPCC for advice on how to handle it.

No, I don't think this is usual behaviour OP.
It's inappropriate for a 7 year old which would make me wonder (with some concern tbh) where they have seen it or picked it up from.
Have you spoken with them about it? Asked them why they have asked other children to do this? I'd second the suggestion of doing a bit of research first in how to have this conversation without scaring or shaming them.

This is a very specific thing your child has been asking others to do.

Whilst it is normal to show interest in others bodies at this sort of age, it (I would say) is unusual to request such a specific thing multiple times. That's not just general curiosity, but to ask them to sit in their lap seems mimicked.

I would agree with the posters above and be concerned where this could of come from? You need to discuss with your child ASAP in case of anything sinister.
