[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 183908, member: 2459"] While my difficult child is a boy, I've never had a boy that age. (Got difficult child from foster care at the age of 9) With that said though, I wouldn't think this is normal either. I agree that the touching of people is a major thing to be worked on and I would definately bring this up with therapist or psychiatrist. If you can, you may want to journal this behavior for a week or so just to give the doctor a better idea of how much it is happening. When he gets older this could really turn into a problem. Small example....when difficult child was about 12 or so, he got in trouble at the Boys and Girls club for grabbing a girls breast. In that particular case I think it was more an impulse issue than (for lack of a better term) a predetory sexual thing. The staff made him apologize and I did too when I got there. The poor girl was so embarrassed that I made him do it again but I managed to make her giggle. When I saw her I was surprised she didn't handle it herself. She was much bigger than difficult child and I told difficult child I was surprised she didn't deck him. He looked at me as if thinking "That could happen?" and she looked surprised at me too. I flat out told her that if he ever did anything like that again, she had my permission to whomp him. She seemed pretty happy with that. [/QUOTE]
