[quote=Anonymous]Teach them to ask, not assume that they can join/take/touch/etc. Teach them that if they do ask and the answer is no, that’s ok and they can respectfully move on. My elementary dd has already had countless times of play/conversations/etc being intruded on by boys who thought they could just insert themselves into the activity and participate or take over because it was interesting to them. And some of them, if she has asked for boundaries, have been angry and lashed out. And it’s not just my dd - I’ve watched this happen in plenty of other playground scenarios. Teachers intervene, but parents need to teach rudimentary consent from a much younger age. Boys need to be able to take no for an answer. [/quote]
