My 10 year old Wants to See Boobs

7/12/2018

While my ADHD 10 year old son was practicing his new favorite activity/sport, rollerblading, I served my own adult ADD by pulling out my phone and downloading a trailer for a new Netflix show entitled Atypical.

We are in the middle of our block. He’s skating, I'm sort-of watching It’s darkening, almost night. Perfect time to watch a trailer on my phone.
 
Brief synopsis without any spoilers, the show centers around a relatively high functioning autistic or Asperger’s teenager in high school whose sole desire is to have a relationship with a girl.
 
As I’m watching the trailer my son skates over. He’s a little tired from doing spins and tricks. He catches his breath by resting his arm around me and we watch together. He’s immediately wrapped up in the show's trailer.
 
Moments later, the main character says, “at some point in my lifetime I want to see boobs.”
 
My son says, “Dad, I want to see boobs, too.”
 
“You don’t need to see boobs.”
 
“Have you ever seen boobs?”
 
“I don’t want to have this conversation with you right now,” I say, chickening out. “You’re ten.”
 
“I want to see boobs.”
 
“You don’t need to.”
 
“I can if I want to.”
 
“Doesn’t work that way.”
 
“Have you ever seen mommy’s boobs?”
 
“I do not want to talk about this with you,” I say.
 
“Just tell me!”
 
“I’m not talking about it!”
 
“I’ll take that as a No!” he says and skates off triumphantly.

    Hi. My name is Stephen Tesher. I am a writer and an educator. Most importantly, I am a father. I've authored three books, staged numerous plays and written screenplays, articles, and this blog.

    ​I write about kids in crisis. I write about parents trying to figure it all out. I write about learning from failure and the resulting successes.

    As an educator, I work to help kids realize their own potential. Self-confidence is the key. Yet, self-doubt and self-esteem issues surround children's lives. So, I do a lot of believing in my students and my children until they are ready to believe in themselves.
