[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to gently disagree with everyone here.  I don't think it is OK.  This is an 8 year old boy smelling his mother's arm pits and breasts.  I understand it is a compulsion but you need to stop allowing this.  Let him smell something else but you do not want your child to go into the tween years behaving in ways that are somewhat sexual and very inappropriate.  He will develop all sorts of conflicting feelings if you allow this.  And if he ever does anything remotely like this in front of other children, he will suffer socially.

I'm surprised, actually, that you say it makes you uncomfortable but you allow it anyway.  What are you teaching your son with that?  That you can behave in ways that make people uncomfortable -- that make women uncomfortable?  You really, really need to establish some boundaries here.  Punish him if he does it.  All this talk talk talking is doing nothing and you and your DH are creeped out, but you are allowing it?  And he KNOWS it creeps you out?

This does not sound like ADHD to me.  I have two children with ADHD and one with Aspergers and it sounds much more like a spectrumy thing.  In any event, for your son's sake you need to stop it.[/quote]

Compulsion?  Who said that?
He doesn't do it front of other children.
It's his mother, not other women.
