Do you point out to your child that they are being weird?

I don’t. I do point out where what they’re choosing to do could be perceived as odd / different or may get a negative impact. Ie I have a lot of tattoos, am relatively senior and specialist in my field with a good reputation. This often over rides any negative, but do I cover them when am presenting to Boards? Yes. I don’t want my message to be made quieter as people are judging what I look like and can’t get over it. Can still see some but not all. It’s why we dress smarter at interview, how we present to the world (or part of it). In terms of annoying other people, we spend time working on what is and isn’t ok, but being annoying is often a hallmark of childhood. I find my own and many children (actually people) annoying. Weird often not, but annoying? Fuck yes. Absolutely have clear boundaries on behaviour - they need to know what’s ok and not, touching a load of displays in a shop is a not. That’s not weird, it’s curiosity and engagement with the world. Redirect to something that they can explore. We teach our kids how to engage with the world with curiosity, respect, kindness and all of those things so it’s just a continuation.
