[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of the blue, my 3rd grade DS, proudly declared at Christmas dinner as we sat down with relatives, "I know how to moan!", and proceeded to make moaning noises. I WAS HORRIFIED. I just told him to stop immediately, and then afterwards, without going into detail of where in fact that noise comes from, just told him that it is inappropriate just like a bad word, and that he should not be doing that. He said he learned it from other kids in class. I'm glad? that it's not just his class or school. Though I figured it stemmed from YouTube or TikTok, I had no idea it was a challenge. Ugh. [/quote]

I'm across the country and had a very similar thing happened. First time he was with a group and I ignored hoping that was best if it was for attention. Second time, I asked DS if he knew what he was doing and what the noises were. I kind of guided him about its inappropriateness until he got VERY uncomfortable. He hasn't done it again. Be explicit about why it's inappropriate and don't assume other kids doing it have phones/social media/access to pornography as they may be parroting class mates. My kids could tell you all about some shows/ horror movies in kindergarten when they didn't even get screen time beyond some Nickelodeon because the kids with access show off to all and it spreads as something "cool" or rebellious.
