Grandparents of 13-year-old boy who is noticing girls. He is verbal and understands most things. We remind not to sit or stand too close to ANYONE and that everyone should have their personal space, including him. We tell him to use stalls in public restrooms (for his safety). Except for his immediate family, we tell him he should not touch anyone without their permission. Funny note: He used to reach for ID tags and females would flinch because they thought he was trying to touch their breast. After we told them to hold it up so he could read it, problem solved:)
There is a real reluctance of school officials to address the issues. They're scare of offending everybody!
I just keep it a general rule that you do not touch anyone's body and they should never touch you. Hopefully this is a phase that ends soon!
Yeah I hope too
Oh okay
