[quote=Anonymous]We are visiting with extended family whom we haven't seen in two years.  Everyone is excited to see each other, but my nephew's subtle, extra attention towards my DD is concerning me.  Nephew is 15 and my DD is 9.  He seeks DD out to sit next to her on a sofa while we are all in the room but then constantly tickles her or does quick little pokes with his fingers under her arms, on her back or on her stomach.  DD laughs because she is being tickled and enjoys the attention from an older kid.  He isn't touching her sexually, but I find his handsy movements off-putting and inappropriate.  I don't think he should be touching her for anything more than a hello hug.  There isn't anyone at the house that I can bounce this off of, so I need your guidance DCUM.  What can I say to this 15 year old in the moment to ask him to stop while protecting my daughter but also guiding him on what is acceptable and not acceptable.  I don't want to embarrass him or cause any friction with his parents, but I do need him to stop touching my DD. And I am the in-law and my husband wasn't able to make the trip so I can't have him say anything.[/quote]
