Advice on inappropriate behaviour

[Orangecrate]

I am not a troll and would not like any further examples of what I’m about to describe as it is uncomfortable to talk about and obviously I do not want to feed any inappropriate lurkers.

Situation being child (KS1 age) rubbing inappropriately around others in the home. How do I address this going further? I have tried to not make child feel as if they are doing something wrong but tried to talk about things being done in private however child gets very frustrated when told to stop and usually continues. Child makes a lot of noise while doing this behaviour which makes family members uncomfortable understandably and some tell them off for doing so. I don’t want them to feel like they’ve been naughty as I understand it’s natural exploration but there is protest when they’re told to stop which then makes it into a thing.

creeps can fuck off this thread, I need genuine advice.

"This behaviour is very impolite and it's not acceptable to touch people like that. If you continue this behaviour you will go to time out" or whatever discipline you use

When a child was doing this in my
Classroom I was told to ask them to go to the toilet so they were in a private space. They were told it was because other people had the right not to see and hear whilst they were doing what they were. After a while they did stop.

Not sure how old KS1 is?! The health visitor should be best point of contact, is this also happening at school/nursery. Older siblings at home?

you just need to ensure they know it's something they can only do in private on their own. If you need to pull them up on it, take them in another room, don't do it in front of others and never in an angry way. Just say do this in private only then move on.

also a family member went through similar and grew out of it quite quickly. I wouldn't worry too much.

The way you write makes me think that this isn't your son or daughter. This is a red flag for sexual abuse.

Tell them if they would like to do that they need to go to their bedroom and do it in privacy. Just like all behaviours you need to teach them what is socially acceptable.
