[quote=Anonymous] My seven year old has told me all about her 'boyfriend' Tony, who she decided was her boyfriend because he 'tells the funniest jokes in the whole class' but has not told him he is her boyfriend, or told anyone else, because 'some kids might say ewww or something'. I told her it was fine just to laugh at his jokes and play with him sometimes if she wanted to, but there was no need to inform him of the status she had decided to bestow :) We have also had other conversations about touching, and how her body is her very own body and places no one should touch it except her parents helping her wash up or her doctor, and how no one should touch it at all when she does not want to be touched and she should tell them no. They were just separate conversations. I don't think elementary school 'love' and learning about safety and consent need to be a paired talk, they usually aren't a paired issue. [/quote]
