I do have it - let me explain what it is:Ī person has Tourette's if they have 2 or more of the following types of involuntary actions: Have you considered he might have Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome? (And even if he doesn't, this answer might help someone else who finds this question.) You may not find the exact problem, but the ideas can be modified to help you. LINK: Here is some info on breaking habits. "H, what are you working on? That's a hard puzzle, you're doing great." "Are you liking this movie?" "Would you like to go to the park later?" "Would you like to help bathe your brother before bed"?" Just pick something positive that reminds him that you care about him. Set your phone to vibrate and if H has just been fine, just talk to him. The other great way to help him is to notice when he's being good. If you were watching TV, you simply turn it off and suggest everyone helps tidy up, or go for a walk, or do jumping jacks - anything that isn't punitive, but also not a favourite thing that H loves to do. It is not a punishment, it simply changes the subject. This means you give him something else to do right way. You could just say, " H, what are you trying to say, Buddy?" Or, redirect. Once you've been straight with him, you may have to help him break the habit. Try to include him as a team member for your infant son, as he is old enough to provide some care. (Please do not qualify 'brother' - they are brothers.) This could backfire if his reason for the noises is to bug you. Tell him about your concerns for his baby brother. Mostly, it just bugs you and his mum and probably his dad. I would try to avoid saying you are embarrassed or that he looks like a jackass.īe honest. Try to avoid "You always" and other sweeping statements. Explain, using non-inflammatory language, why this particular behaviour is of concern. Just sit down, perhaps with the child's other dad/parents and discuss it as a team - if that is possible. How can I look at stopping our son from making random, silly noises and generally acting daft?
Personally I feel it is stopping him from focusing on tasks at hand and his ability to concentrate. It does sound like I'm quite strict and I don't want it to come along like we are trying to stop our child from being a child. On top of this my girlfriend and I have recently had a baby (he is now around 11 weeks old) and what we don't want is for our newborn to mimic this kind of behaviour as they grow up. It's not a problem in that context but he has what I would call an obsession to do it to himself and it can be quite embarrassing when we are out in public and we are having to tell him to stop it. He also has a tendency to slap his own bottom (his Father did this whilst play fighting when he was younger and sometimes still does).
#Silly fart sounds tv
It's not like he is mimicking something on TV or trying to get our attention. To try and give an example, we would all be sat watching TV or busy in the kitchen making dinner and randomly H would make daft noises like "boop, beep, ba, bottom" to himself and in no way related to what was happening at that time. As a baby this was looked upon as "he's just a baby", however as he starts to mature we (the Mother and I) were wondering if there was anything we could do to help him reduce these outburst of random noises and acts of silliness. He sees him every night for a couple of hours and they (Mother and Father) alternate weekends.įor a long time now, probably 3 to 4 years, H makes very loud and daft noises. H's father is very much involved in his life. I am step father to a seven-year-old boy (let's call him H).
