[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF?[/quote] exactly. who even thinks this question ? wierdos[/quote] Actually, most of us raising boys think about this - I hope. You are teaching consent, and modeling stopping physical contact when someone says no. My kid is now 12, and I don't remember thinking about this when we played chase and tag and the like, but we started very early with touching and tickling. My kid ADORES being tickled - still does. What we've done is that "no" or "stop" or "wait" are absolute red lights. He says "stop" and my hands go up. If he wants me to tickle him again he has to say "tickle me!" or something. And I do. Does that mean he can't say "no" and mean "yes?" Hell yeah. That is the point - I want him to stop touching anyone who says "no," and not wonder if this is a real "no" or a "no that actually means yes." There is no "no that actually means yes." There is only no. And yes. They are opposites.[/quote]
