My friend had a get toghether yesterday.She has a dd who is 4yrs and shge had a friend round of the same age.The two girls went upstairs to play.After a while my friend went up to see how they were.
She walked in to find they had made a bed on the floor with blankets etc.Both girls were under the covers.The visting child had taken off her pants.Friends dd was holding a polly pocket figure and she laughed and said "she told me to put it in her bum" (her=visting girl) (bum=vagina).
Friend said "oh no-put your clothes back".
She decided to talk to dd later and said come downstairs for snacks.
Later friend was putting dd to bed shge spoke to her and asked her about it.She said "what were you and ##### doing"
Dd replied that "I wanted to play docs and nurses but she wanted to play the bum game"
She then said that the girl had made her play the bum game at playschool in secret before.She kept saying it wasnt her idea.
Friends dd has never done this with anyone else or even mentioned this before.
what does everyone think?

I agree the insertion, and the secretive nature of this 'game' have me worried. I too would have to report it as a childminder, under child protection guidance.

that this game has been played at preschool unnoticed!

DD1 is 4.5 and she is unable to keep a "secret". To her a secret is "there is something under that cloth but i can't tell you as it is a secret" i pick it up to see a half eaten biscuit taken secretly. That is a secret at that age.

I would be worried and i think you should say something. You can say it gently, just say the "secret" bit worried you. Then leave it at that. Plus make sure your DD knows she can say no and that her body is hers and private.
