Maybe Brian is trying to get someone's attention or he feels that this is the only way he can express himself. Maybe he feels he is being ignored but he knows this will get everyone's attention. I would feel like something is not right in his world that he feels the need to express himself in this way. I would ask the school to give you more information on when these things happen, what happens before and how is it handled? What are the other children's reactions? I have always relied on the wisdom of Terri Couwenhoven and her book Teaching Children with Down Syndrome About Their Bodies, Boundaries, and Sexuality. She goes through teaching public and private issues on sexuality. It is a must have book in my mind. Hope this helps.suelmayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990628698335411723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434662234064169811.post-72543396919162124722012-02-12T19:10:55.523-06:002012-02-12T19:10:55.523-06:00Thank you Justine.

He has behavior issues at times at school...mostly with swearing, spitting, or trying to expose his private area. Any words of wisdom for me? He knows better not to do those things but for whatever reasons, he does them anyway.<br />As others have said, your blogs are inspirational!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434662234064169811.post-39160185059858141032012-02-10T09:46:35.748-06:002012-02-10T09:46:35.748-06:00Sue, I confess that I'm exhausted by just READ...Sue, I confess that I'm exhausted by just READING your description of your trip with him to the gym.
