Boys talking about Dd’s private parts-do I contact teacher/parents?

Dd is 7 and often plays with some boys in her class at school sometimes and really likes them
Today in the car home she said that one of them was talking about her private parts and whispering and that the other boy was kind and told Dd. I asked what they were saying and she got angry and said to stop asking her. I asked what she did and she said got angry at him of course. She won’t say more
Am I being dramatic by considering contacting his mum? Is this just a normal thing? Have no experience with this!

Personally, I would say although it's not nice for your daughter, its typical curiousity at that age, for girls and boys. I found willies very interesting at that age, but only because I didn't have one. I wouldn't read to much into it as far as the individual boy is concerned.

I think you should encourage your daughter to speak up for herself but also have a word with the school as I am sure they encounter this a lot at this age.

Talk to school

Don't contact the other mother.
Just talk to your daughter and just tell her to tell them not to say things like or she won't play with them.
Yes it isn't nice but they are just curious little boys and this is by no means abnormal or really inappropriate. They are 7.

You've got lots of years of school to get through don't start contacting other parents it never ends well.

Or just talk to the teacher if you prefer

Mention it to the teacher on Monday drop off or send an email. Pretty much saying what you've said here, asking for help. Don't confront the parents.
