Is what my friends 4 year old boy said when he was playing with my dd,also 4!
Now, I'm no prude and I know all children start to become curious but my dd is no where near this stage yet, I thought it was more common around 6 or 7?
Anyway, I obviously must have looked pretty peed off as friend then started saying all the ch were doing this at his preschool showing each other etc and that she had told him that his privates were just that and not to share but it was pretty obvious the message hadn't gone in.
I also later caught him saying to her " lets go to your room and play showing privates". I said very firmly that my dd was not going to go upstairs with him.
I'm a bit worried now that I will have to helicopter their play sessions which I haven't before.
Should I be worried? Should I stop them playing together for a while? I know it's all part of growing up but they seem very young and as I said my dd isn't curious at all and I don't really want anyone showing her these things when she isn't ready.
