Pre-pubescent child with learning difficulties and limited understanding has started pulling down pants and fiddling. Working with professionals to try and stop this behaviour.
Advice regarding childminding? This child is rarely around other mindees but is exploring their body and is oblivious to their surroundings and anyone watching so not doing it on purpose.
Tough one as they clearly are unaware but then again we can't have the behaviour and care over over 8's affecting the care of the unders. Sorry I've no magical answer to this.

Sorry haven't any more helpful advice.
