[quote=Anonymous]Victim of child sexual abuse here -- and trust me, this ain't it. I would go at it from a "you're growing up" point of view. My niece is 10 and she and I used to have a real physical/ roughhouse type relationship (I'm a woman) but now she's simply too big for it. Having her in my lap is like being buried under three loads of laundry. Hot and not fun. So correct her (gently) based on her age, not the gender or relationship of her playmate. And of course don't be sitting in BF's lap yourself -- that screams "I can but you can't." I also agree with PPs suggestions for alternatives to help her feel like she has a place in this relationship. And there's nothing wrong with handholding.[/quote]
