Question

How do you handle your 6 year-old daughter kissing a boy?

Answer 1

Ask her why she did it.

Depending on her answer.

If she thinks it was nice and liked him & blah blah.... yeah nip that right in the bud.. tell her it's only for grown ups to do and little girls/boys do NOT do that.. that a hug between friends is okay but that's it.

If she says that it was just mimiking the movies I'd say the same as above and then watch her t.v intake.

If she says he kissed her...

remind her that no one is to make her uncomfortable, or do anything she doesn't want to.. and give her ideas on how to stick up for herself..

it all depends on why & how she got in that situation.  

good luck.. kids are something else!

Answer 2

wow you guys seem soooo worried about everything!

kids are kids and I had my first kiss in kindergarten and i'm perfectly fine and not knocked up.

kids that young develop crushes and other things and kissing is just something they know,,, they don't know anything else yet. You can turn on the television and see people kiss and that's where they know it from.

It's not a big deal and you guys have to relax.. she's 6 she's not going to have s*x, at least know what s*x is until she is older.

i thought s*x was just cudding in bed until like 6th grade.. don't worry about it

Answer 3

Say "thats great honey!"and leave it at that.

Answer 4

You Don't. Just explain to her that it isn't something she should do with anyone that isn't part of the family. Affection by children is norman, and should be normal. Don't scold her for doing something that all little girls do.

Answer 5

Wow, I did that at the age of 5(9 years ago) and I was smiled upon and I thought I was being praised so it continues. At the age of 6 and mother of some older boys told me that if they ever kissed me to slap them...shocked and not sure if I kissed someone if they would slap me so I stopped.

Answer 6

Tell her that kisses are for family and people you love. Other than that I would think its cute but doesnt need to be encouraged.

Answer 7

I wouldn't handle it.

You have to lay boundaries and this is one of those boundaries that should not be crossed.

Not, unless - you would like her pregnant by the time she hits puberty (which can be as young as 8 or 10 these days!)

No, a thousand times no.  Don't let her grow up precocious.  YOU set the RULES.

Answer 8

just say don't ever do it again. she doesn't know it is wrong. she probably thinks it is normal considering all the kissing she see's on the television

Answer 9

tell her she will die if she does it again.

Answer 10

Ask her to tell you how it felt to her. Get her to talk. Listen very carefully. Tell her to make sure he does not have a cold since she could get sick if he does.

Answer 11

It depends what kind of kissing.

I doubt a 6yr old is capable of anything more than a peck, and id just laugh about it.

It doesnt need to be "handled"

(I dont know, maybe im just a terrible mother?)

Answer 12

Delicately, was she the initiator or was the boy. Obviously, this determines your course of action. Kids are growing too fast today and the pressures they face are not the same as for our older generations.

Answer 13

Yes, explain to her that some mommies do not want other children kissing their children and that they can even have YOU, her mommy/daddy thrown in jail for it (and don't think there aren't ridiculous people like that in the world--you will find out the hard way).

Then explain to her too about hygiene, how some people carry illnesses that she can pick up by kissing someone.

It's never too early to educate your kids on stuff like that, and in fact it's true, she could pick up herpes (that causes cold sores) etc. from such thing.

So tell her kisses should be for family and that she really should kiss on the cheek.

Answer 14

someone needs the birds n bees talk n pronto

Answer 15

You have to kind of lay off the child. She is only six years old.

Answer 16

I'd tease her. She'd never do it again!!
