[quote=Anonymous]I realize this is different, but last year my kindergartener told me she’d kissed a boy and he’d kissed her. It turns out they kissed each other’s foreheads. I said I thought she had a long time for kissing and it was a good way to spread germs and, regardless, that shouldn’t happen at school. She said “oh, it didn’t! We ran behind a tree at the school picnic for a moment when you weren’t looking!”

I said I’d prefer she’d wait and not kiss again, but that I appreciated her honesty. She told me she wanted to tell me sooner, but the other child begged her not to, so we discussed the idea of secrets feeing good and I told her when she does eventually want to kiss or hug people that it’s very important that she actually wants it and the other person wants it. She (6 at the time) rolled her eyes and said “moooommmm, we’ve already talked about that.”

I was surprised how many conversations we could start coming out of this. When I was 12 a lot of people were kissing / interested in kissing. (I wasn’t one of them but witnessed a fair bit of spin the bottle). I think very few people, if any, were more sexually active before high school. [/quote]
