DS is 7, almost 8 and has ADHD. Last year in school there were multiple issues with him being exposed to bad language from children in his class and also quoting inappropriate phrases from the YouTuber ‘Jeffy’, he had unfortunately seen this on one occasion at a friend’s house but it was clear that others in the class were watching it regularly and repeating what they had seen, he came home singing about ‘putting my pee pee in the Cheerios’, imitating Jeffy tapping his genitals and asking me what the word ‘Fuck’ meant.
Because of his ADHD he is at quite high risk of blurting these things out now he has learnt them (where his friends are able to judge when they can repeat them and get off with it)and we had a stage of having Jeffy related meltdowns each evening, there always will be some silly behaviour with him but this became his ‘go to’ thing to do when overwhelmed although this was thankfully almost exclusively at home. I had mentioned this to school last year specifically naming one child DS had mentioned saying these things and was told the teacher would speak to the other child but no mention of parents being spoken to.
Things had finally settled over the summer when he was no longer being exposed to this in school but he has only been back for a few days and has come home today using the word ‘ball sack’ and quoted something that a friend had seen on Jeffy. Is there any point in approaching school again? Ideally I’d love some kind of general message to all parents making them aware that Jeffy has become a bit of a ‘thing’ in the class and that it is not appropriate as I do think at least some parents are unaware of the content but I’m not sure if that’s an unreasonable thing to expect!
