[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say, in a loud, pleasant but serious voice (teacher voice): hey Pete, it’s not polite to poke other people. Let’s keep our hands to ourselves!

Then I’d keep a close eye on the kids.[/quote]

Wow, way to shame the kid.  Kids play this way.  It's fine unless the daughter isn't comfortable with it, which she should tell her mom or dad. [/quote]

I have two teen boys, and no, they don’t play this way with you get kids they don’t know well. Or anyone, really.[/quote]

A 15 year old boy should really not have any interest in a 9 year old girl, even more so with consistent touching and seeking her out. They arent socially, mentally, physically, or developmentally anywhere near equals. In the event of playing with known sibling, cousins, friends, etc. its different but tickling is one of those things that only mom/dad do in our family because we consistently let him know that he can say no or stop. Most kids will not feel they can say stop or no especially if its occurring in front of family and done by family- it feels innately approved. [/quote]
