'My 6-year-old is constantly trying to touch other kids' genitals. Help!'

What would you do if this were your kid? Can you imagine how you might feel? Have you been this parent? Are you this parent? First things first, seek professional help to make sure there's not something more to this. Once you have confirmation your kid is safe, then what? In this week's episode I talk you through my suggestions to this question. This question came from a very concerned parent who wants to support their kid the best way they can. This is a sensitive topic that requires compassion and an open mind. It may be that paid, professional help is required. It may be that your kid functions differently to the majority. So needs information presented in another way. If this is the case it's totally ok. You can, with the right support, provide the information they need. If you feel like you could use some more support for this part of your parenting, and to hear all about how to support your kid as he learns about boundaries and consequences around the touching of genitals, have a listen to this week's episode of Sitting in a Car. x Sarah
