[quote=Anonymous]You have to point it out politely AND how it makes others feel. So tell them that a joke can be funny and compliment his sense of humor, but say that most kids his age have outgrown hearing the same joke over and over and they will think he is being immature. He won’t know unless you tell him, and he may be a few years behind socially, so be very clear. You can acknowledge that he may still think it’s funny, but others don’t. It takes clear messaging and repetition for him to internalize this. If he were doing it to me, I’d remind him once, and then ask him to go in another room to repeat it as many times as he wants, but don’t come back until it is out of his system. You are doing him a favor by teaching this, just like you teach him to brush his teeth regularly. He just doesn’t get it. [/quote]
