7 year old boy is obsessed with bottoms advice please!

[mapmaps]

Hi I am a nanny for boy3/ girl5 and boy7.
Having a problem with behaviour for boy7. He is obsessed with bottoms.

eg. we found him with boy3 who was lying face down and boy7 with his face wedged between boy3's bottom cheeks.

eg. has taken his clothes off @ playdates and encourages friends to show their bottom and do the same.

eg. repeats the words bottoms, bums, poo and anything of that nature. Sometimes repeats these words in a tourette like manner (he does not have tourettes)

eg. takes own trousers off and smacks his bare bottom whilst showing it off to younger siblings.

Between myself and parents (who are totally unified and supportive of each other) we have tried the following

-have had grave discussions with him eg. not acceptable behaviour, not appropriate etc. bottoms are personal private areasetc

• cancelled playdates for a week at a time

-removed him from his brother and sister in the house and sent him to his bedroom

• removed his nintendo ds and other physical items of interest. (this has NO effect on him at all)

• taken pocket money away

-early bedtimes

Overall he does not seem to understand the inappropriateness of his behaviour.

Is there something we have missed?
Would love to know if there are other 7 year olds obsessed with bottoms?

I think most 7 year olds are obsessed with bttoms (boys anyway dont know about girls, are alien to me LOL) but yes this has gone too far.

DS2 (8 Saturday) will do the reeatition of botto / bum etc and all his mates do also; he is NT.

He's been known to 'moon' as well.

But the lying face down biit is way ott and the other bits need modifying.

I found explaining to ds2 that if he does it to other people then they might want to do it back and he wouldn't like that worked in the main, but you might have to try ahrder- have you come across social stories? Google ther term. they might be designed for kids with ASD but heck they're great for em all!

i think most 7 yo boys are obsessed with bottoms tbh.. but maybe this has steered into slightly above the normal level of obsession lol.

it all sounds a bit draconian for someone is getting to know the human body tbh - maybe a bit more 'steering' and distracting like you would with a younger child, rather than the ton of bricks approach... i wouldn't want him to end up with a complex lol...

Hi- I know the original post was 6yrs ago but I just wondered what happened? My 5yr old son is going through exactly the same thing and we're all at a loss about how to handle it.
