I’m concerned about my ten year old son’s behaviour. I have little experience with boys being a family of girls prior to the birth of my two boys. My ten year old struggles at school as was diagnosed with a processing disorder where he struggles with instructions and memory. He is also very figgerty and has way too much energy. He is rude to me and his dad and I wonder about adhd. He has major meltdowns and so t do his homework. He has started swearing at home when he gets angry and has started saying hi sexy to me and hitting my bum. I am sure this behaviour is influenced by his friends at school who watch inappropriate things on YouTube. My son is blocked from YouTube and the internet. He has started thrusting himself at his little brother and rubbing his Willy against him. He tries to cuddle me in a sexy way touching my bum and rubbing his Willy against my leg. I’ve told him this is not appropriate but he continues to do it. I’m worried he’s going to be a sexual deviant. He doesn’t know much about sex as I don’t feel he is mature enough. I’m at a loss what to do?

I have absolutely no experience of this but if you suspect ADHD I would really, really recommend talking to his GP about your concerns now. You've got the start of puberty and High School looming and both of these can have a hugely detrimental effect first some ND DC.

I'd also suggest asking if anyone has experience of this type of behaviour on the SN Children section Flowers

What does your son say when you ask him why he does this?

@mumroom6571 he thinks it’s funny and says he can’t help it. I think he’s copying his friends or rather they plant the seed and he does it to get a laugh and gain popularity. I’m going into school this morning to speak to his teacher. He’s now saying he’s autistic!!! And stupid and wierd! All coming from school in sure

Just wanted to send you a hug. I'm hoping your son will get some help to stop and wishing you all the best

Hi everyone. I’m after a bit of advice really. I have a 4 year old and a 16 month old. My son is autistic and started showing he’s aware of his private parts. My son touches his privates in front us all we have told him it’s not appropriate in front of everyone recently we caught him humping his 16 month old sister he’s started touching his privates looking at her and trying to pull her on his lap a lot. We are trying our best to stop this but can anyone tell us if this is normal
