If your son had a crush on a girl in his class, would you drop a hint to her paremts?

My son will never pluck up courage to tell her. She seems to like him a little. My instincts say keep out of this but still feel tempted to drop a mild hint.

They are both in year 6 so probably won't see each other after July 2006. What would you do?

Sweet!My ds is keen on a girl in his class yr 6 too and is going to her band's gig tonight (I am traumatised by this!)but I think they are too young to take it seriously and I probably wouldn't mention it as they chop and change likr the wind at that age

No. He would probably be mortified if you did.

Joolstide · 17/12/2004 09:19

what would I do? - nothing! is it crucial at his age?

DingDongDinosaurOnHigh · 17/12/2004 09:25

No!

wickedwinterwitch · 17/12/2004 09:28

I'd leave them to it too. Unless he would like to ask her to tea. But I bet he won't! It'll embarrass him I'd have thought. My ds is only 7 but already goes all silly if I mention certain girls names. Bless.

xmascaroltygirl · 17/12/2004 19:04

I would leave it as well, for fear of embarrassing him. If I have my school years right they're now 10-ish, is that right? It's a long time between now and July 2006, by which time your ds will either have changed his mind, or maybe got a bit braver.

My dd1 has had a terrible crush on a wee boy in her class (they're only 6!) for months and I'm pretty sure his parents know all about it, as she insists on inviting him to her parties, etc. as pretty much the only boy. But she is now shifting her attentions to another chap instead - this is apparently based on the fact that he wrote kisses and hugs in her birthday card!

mears · 17/12/2004 19:05

definately not.

ZCMUM · 17/12/2004 19:07

No, I might be old fashioned but at that age I think they should just be enjoying being a child rather than being interested in the opposite sex. I understand it is a natural thing for a boy that age to be getting his first crushes and thinking about girls more but I don't think you shud actively encourage it.

Gobbledigoose · 17/12/2004 19:08

No way!

DoesntChristmasDragOn · 17/12/2004 19:08

No way!

noddyholder · 17/12/2004 19:09

my ds has just gone off with friend and dp to his crush' concert wearing black nail varnish to impress her I think!But when I asked if he would like to invite her to his party on last day of term next week he went nuts and said no way so it is all v fickle at this
