Children touching other children

[mamatwo]

I received a call from a friend today telling me that my son who is 6 is running after her daughter AGAIN. I spoke to my son and told him that his female classmate does not want to be chased and if is making her feel uncomfortable when the boys approach her to kiss her. A couple of months passed by and my son just begin chasing his classmate again. Apparently, yesterday both him and another male friend were chasing her and touching her on the private area. I am so upset and my child NEEDS to see and understand that this is VERY WRONG. I do realize that the most important thing is to sit down with my child and educate him on why this not appropriate behavior. But, I feel he deserves to be punished???? Rather than go to bed at 8:00, I have decided to put him in bed at 7:00 and no TV for the next several days. ???? Does anyone have any constructive feedback????? I just game him back his hockey sticks after a week for not listening to get dressed in the hockey dressing room. Plus, I took away his friends for a week because he agreed to call another child FATTY at school during lunch playtime. This behavior cannot go on????

I think you gave him too much punishment

You are definitely right when you say that this behavior can't go on, and that you should sit down and talk to him about it.  He is merely six years old, so a week long punishment means nothing by day 3.  He completely forgets why he is in trouble and it becomes routine.  At a young age such as his, routine happens quickly.  His typical bedtime is 8 o'clock, after changing this and making it 'routine', the fourth night, he is accustomed to it, and it is not difficult or anything different.  
So, ultimately, you need to talk to him about it, explain why it is not nice, it is not appropriate, and explain to him that the little girl is different, she has different ' no-no spots' and that she doesn't like it when little boys try to touch those and change it up a bit, and explain to him that if he is doing something she doesn't like she isn't going to want to be his friend and will not want to play with him anymore.  Kids don't like the idea of losing friends!  
Good luck to you!  And Btw, Welcome to the community!
