![]() Is the behavior random or infrequent?
No. While this is the first incident in which staff have observed Cameron touch another child, there is an ongoing pattern of challenging behavior.
![]() Is the behavior typical for the child’s age and developmental ability?
No. Children this age should have developed other skills to problem-solve with peers. Threatening with violence or sexual acts is not typical for children this age. Most children Cameron’s age would tell an adult if they had an issue with a much younger child, knowing that younger kids have more limited problem-solving skills. It is not typical to forcefully touch another child’s private parts.
![]() Is the behavior driven by curiosity, exploration, and playfulness?
No, the behavior is likely caused by a lack of social problem-solving skills.
![]() If other children are involved, is it mutual and good-humored?
No, it’s aggressive and confrontational.
![]() If other children are involved, do they know each other well and are they of a similar age and development (<2 years)?
While Cameron and Makayla attend the same program, there is a four-year age gap. If children Cameron’s age use sexually explicit language or even experiment with sexual touching, it is normally with same-age peers.
![]() Is the behavior easily redirected?
No, staff members are generally having a difficult time redirecting Cameron’s behavior.
Normative Sexual Behavior?
No. Sheila and Crystal decide that based on the information they have, Cameron’s behavior is not normative and may be a sexual behavior challenge.
