Have been mulling this over for a couple of days. My 9 year old came home from her friends house and told me that the other girls shared a secret with her. They pulled down their pants and tickled each other's front bums!!!! They asked my dd did she want to join in - which she didn't. This took place in a semi public place. We spoke about respect, for ourselves and each other, about being able to understand things ie emotional maturity. Keeping herself safe. And basically told her to call me to collect her if she finds herself in that situation again. I am taken aback by the behaviour , sad that my 9 year old has been exposed to this. Any other advice how to handle other than removing herself from the group. The other girls prefaced sharing their secret by saying this is a bit gay!!! Some of the other parents are medics and very open in terms of education so don't suspect anything untoward in their homes iykwim.
Thanks for any advice.

Is this unusual for 9 year old girls and how to handle?
