6yr old's chat

[Notableforthis]

Hi, I am just wondering if this is normal for kids of 6 to be talking this way about crushes and kissing at this age. I know it might sound like I am being naive but I thought I might of gotten another few years before they were having these chats am I wrong?

My kids were disgusted by kissing and crushes at that age, about 10 crushes may happen and kissing early teens

No ds was 6 in November . He had shown no interest at all in crushes and has a wide group of friends including girls . He has never mentioned kissing , but has stated that he wants to marry my best friend’s daughter (20) and our cat when he is older !!! He adores both !

DS is 6but year 2, some of them def have "girlfriends" or "boyfriends" but I don't think it amounts to more than them saying it and playing together at play time. If I ASKED DS if he had a gf he'd say his best female friends. If I asked a out a crush I doubt he'd understand the word. He tells me his bf says she loves him and gives him a kiss but def air or cheek type, nothing more.

I remember a few of us in my class having a ‘crush’ on a boy in primary school when we were about aged 6, but it was all very innocent and harmless and I think we were play acting more than anything. I recall liking the colour of his hair and that was about it 😁

If you get a dominant personality in the playground saying this stuff it tends to go around. Possibly older siblings? But since parents encourage it in a trading way. I’ve heard one mum do a lot of “ ooh he’s your BF , we might catch you kissing” to Year 2 DD , who looked embarrassed.

Year 2 they all started having 'boyfriends' and 'girlfriends', DD is now in year 3 and it's still the norm.

They don't do anything, no kissing or anything like that, they just pair up and seem to switch boyfriends/girlfriends on a semi regular basis.

Occasionally they get married at break time, which seems to involve picking daisies as a bouquet, one of the group being the priest and making up some words and then everyone going off to play different things 2 minutes later.

Thanks very much for replies, its our 1st child so no experience in this, I don't know why but if I'm being honest it made me a little uncomfortable when I heard the kids talking like this I wish they had a few more years of innocence
