He's 6. He's had a bad week at school and his teacher has suggested he may need emotional support for not coping well with change. For context - He was caught fiddling with himself on the carpet during storytime and a couple of days later he was seen counting the butterflies on a girls top - not inappropriately touching her just touching each butterfly on her zip, shoulder etc. teacher said he had seemed off/distant and asked if he'd struggled at home. All that had happened during the week was one of his support teachers has left and he was upset because I hadn't given him a present to give her (i had flu so although I'd bought one, it had slipped my mind). I apologised to him umpteen times but he was angry and emotional because everyone else had given her a gift. He hid under the table at dinner time but eventually calmed down.
I'm not sure what to say to the teacher as I'm not sure it's needed as he really is just 6. Is this really unusual behaviour? I spoke to him about the touching etc and he was angry and said he didn't know why he done it, but I think more out of embarrassment than anything and that I had been told about it by his teacher. This morning he was difficult and basically just kept telling me to go away.
I'd say 90% of the time he's bright, funny, easy child (which I think is good!)
