[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my 4th grade son had come home talking about sexual orientation, my first concern would be to find out why such things are on the mind of a preadolescent at all, and whether he might have been exploited by someone. Beyond that, identity formation is a long term process and encouraging self-labeling at such a young age seems like a very bad idea. [/quote] My son is in 5th and while he’d be tolerant and see it as NBD, sexual orientation is not on his radar yet, in terms of himself or peers. It does seem early. Is there a book, movie, conversation that prompted him to tell you this? I would wonder. I think you’re doing the right thing to show acceptance and follow his lead. [/quote]
