How do I make my daughter realise she is too young to kiss boys?

Question

My daughter is 7 years old but she loves playing with boys far more than girls.She has just had a boy...friend over to play and they have been playing in her bedroom. They have now gone out with his parents. When she came downstairs I said to her, what have yo been doing up there? You haven't been kissing have you?.....just teasing her. The she said 'yes' and looked all embarrassed. Now before I panic, I know the type of kissing between 7 year olds normally involves a peck on the cheek, but I don't want her thinking that this is ok to behave at this age. I had to tell her before about a boy she was kissing at school. She is a very sensible girl and very loving so I know this is done in innocence. My husband and I are very demonstrative and tactile so we don't hide kisses and cuddles.

How do I get her to realise this is unacceptable without her thinking I am joking..(This is a serious quest, serious answers only please. Any lude suggestions or slants on her character will be reported)

Answer 1

its probably not a big deal, she sees her mom and dad kissing and knows that when you like someone thats what you do. maybe for now say that only married people should do it? my stepdaughter kissed a boy on the forehead in kindergarten and the school made a big deal out of it. but i dont think it is. she is only doing what she is seeing. at least she isnt punching people or bringing guns to school right?

Answer 2

explain to her that it is not ok for her to be kissing boys at this age that when she is older she can kiss boys maybe tell her other ways she can show she likes him that are more appropriate .

Answer 3

I could never have boys in my room at all until I was on my own.   Maybe tell her she should give hugs instead of kisses.  Tell her she has be alittle older like in High school.

Answer 4

its sad to say but innocence is being lost a lot earlier then in the past. Next time she has her boy... friend over dont let them in her room make them play out in the open, or if they have to be in her room then make sure the door is open and check in on them every so often. I know when i was younger i couldnt have any boys in my room, so i think them being in an open room would be better. This way you know for sure how innocent the kisses are.

Answer 5

I am not really sure what you can do...she is probably just curious..and not that it's a bad thing but if shes sees you and your hubby kissing, she may think it's a good thing because you two love each other...I don't know that's a hard one to answer, good luck, I wish i had more advice
