[quote=Anonymous]I wonder if she might have some sensory stuff going on? Sometimes kids with high high sensory needs can seem to lack boundaries like this because they seek seek that physical touch. Not that this really helps you and regardless her behavior is something the parents should be responding to, of course. But if that was the case the parents could try to help her get her sensory needs fulfilled in others ways. I agree with others and hopefully she will grow out of it soon so since it’s a neighbor maybe just try to keep things as ok as you can while avoiding too much interaction til hopefully it gets better. If it comes up with the parents again maybe you could ask something like - what have you all found as the best way to respond when it happens? That way I could be consistent if I have to intervene if she grabs Larlo. Then maybe you will get a sense of if they are trying anything? And also start to be clear that you WILL be intervening, but in a not very threatening way. I agree it seems very odd they aren’t addressing it more if dad is a teacher. So maybe there is more you don’t know yet? [/quote]
