How do you handle clients that are too affectionate?

I know that this is an old thread but,

I have worked with the DD population and one of the things that I have found is that the staff under estimates their intellegence. You say one is at a 2 year old level and one at a 5.

If you were working with your own children age 2 and 5 what would you do? Everyone needs boundries. So your expectations should be that they understand at their level. Both of the above understand no.

What does the other staff do when the client bangs their head, etc.? Is there consequences for their bad behavior? If so enforce the consequences.

Another key is to continue to follow through. If you give in just once for bad behavior it reinforces it.
