[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 529546"] Hi, I've been in a similar situation with difficult child 1. He did not make physical contact with another child. He did ask her to though. And then for several months afterwards was very driven to get a little girl alone. He has also always been very aware of anything slightly sexual around him. When all this was happening the psychiatrist called cps. The therapist difficult child 1 was going to at the time told us there are 2 reasons for a child to be hypersexual one is they were sexually abuse and the second is a mood disorder. Even now years later I don't know which of these was the case with difficult child 1. He still reacts strongly to anything sexual around him. Tonight he was boarding on meltdown because difficult child 3 was looking at a store advertisement that happened to have bras on one line on the bottom of a page. difficult child 3 wasn't on that page and was looking at the games. What I did was supervise, supervise, supervise. At this time difficult child 1 got an aide at school to watch him during recess and lunch. difficult child 1 was not left alone with other kids; especially girls. He did start to act inappropriately with his brothers, so it was all kids he was supervised with. I taught difficult child 1 as much as I could without giving him more information than I thought he already had. I also deal with natural curiosity from my other kids. difficult child 3 likes to rub his penis on others because it feels good. We've caught him several times and it is not the same as what difficult child 1 did; even though what difficult child 3 is doing sounds much worse. There is no shame from difficult child 3 when he is caught. We are teaching him social boundaries. Just like we are teaching him to not pick his nose in public. Of course I'm mortified by difficult child 3's behaviors and teaching as fast as I can. He also doesn't try to hide it and its with clothes on and it doesn't look like sex. Not sure if that makes sense. Trust your feelings. If what your son is doing doesn't feel like natural curiosity trust that. Does he go to kindergarten? Could he have picked this up from someone at school? [/QUOTE]
