Hi, I am unsure if this question falls against guidelines. I apologize if it does.

I(22F) tutor my cousin's first grader(7M), and sometimes I am asked to help out with certain behaviors teachers may email or call about. As someone who would like to be a teacher and a mother someday, I have no issues with this, but today was a particularly rough day for Parents, Kiddo, and myself. You see, Kiddo has ADHD and due to issues involving inattention, he often gets notes sent home which he goes over with both parents and myself. Today was a little more than simply inattention. Teacher provided a note which detailed how he wasn't listening during class - something we are working on and I believe he may need proper accommodations for. Vice Principal also called home today as Kiddo took off from recess and hopped into a delivery truck that was parked outside the school for a cafeteria delivery. In addition to this, Parents receive additional word that today after Kiddo went to the bathroom, he came out with his clothes completely off and swinging his penis around. He did not change his behavior when teachers directed him to and was sent to the VP for disciplinary action.

When I brought Kiddo home from school, my cousin and I heard about this phone call from her husband after I went through the note from Teacher with her. She had a talk with him as did I when he paused our homework session to discuss it with me..

As a pandemic student, I feel as though Kiddo has missed out on a lot of peer social-emotional learning and this is why he lacks an understanding of why his behavior was not okay. I attempted to speak about body safety with him and how showing other people his private parts is not okay and can be scary for other people. I spoke with my cousin about the talk after and how if this specific situation happens again, he may be suspended from school for sexual deviance despite his behaviors lacking malicious intent. Where do we go from here and how can we/I support him with understanding boundaries and body safety?

​

I also wanted to add that his parents have gone over teaching him about his body and how his penis and butt are private areas, so he does have that much understanding. He also often takes off all his clothes to use the bathroom but usually leaves his home bathroom with his clothes back on.

​

Thank you in advance for any and all advice on how I can support both Kiddo and his family!
