to think this is all a bit too early

[racmac]

DS9 has girls calling for him, letters being passed in school talking about kissing and having sex with each other
talking about who fancies who

Im thinking this is just too early - wasnt expecting this until yr6 not yr 4

do you mean your 9th DS of your DS aged 9yrs old?

if it is the latter then what a shame for him to be dealing with adult/sexualised conversations so young - I have no personal experience as my eldest is only 6 but I was hoping that she could hold onto her youth for a while at least

of or

no he is 9 yrs old

bit early to talk about having sex! though my nephew was always a hit with the girls from a young age and attracted alot of attention

He knows what sex is - i asked him and he told me that its how you make babies

I must point out its a girl writing these notes to another boy but he has got hold of the note and its obvioulsy a big deal in class

if it is happening in school could you maybe approach the teacher about it? not sure what she might be able to do other than keep an eye on it though

I know our lot are going to be getting the start of sex education in P2 then again we have had another 2 babies since DD1 so she knows something has to go on

arrgghh, why can't they stay in nappies and have no worries forever

teacher is aware - another mum/friend found the note and handed it in

what did the teacher think of it? did she make any suggestions at all?

is DS upset/bothered/curious at all?

DS seems quite bemused/embarrased - not aware of how gorgeous he is

teacher ws bit concerned - other things of concern i think (think but not sure) which is sad

child rather wears rather provocative clothes, left to play out a lot unsupervised

there can be a huge difference in stages of development in just one class though - for example DD is in a class where the eldest is 7 mths older than her and the youngest is a full year younger than the older girl - the other girl was held back a school year due to a Dec birthday (we're in the Scottish system) which was the right choice as although she is the oldest she's tiny in stature and also one of the smallest.

the eldest girl also happens to be the middle child and learns a lot from her older sister who is 10,DD is very good friends with this girl which leaves her asking us about stuff that we certainly wouldn't expose her to but the other wee girl is aware of due to being older/having an older sibling

its very difficult to draw a line between letting her learn/being with her friends and keeping her away from things that we don't want her exposed to
