[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 4th grader at an independent school and I see a lot of the same thing.  It’s that age stuck between being little kids and tweens. They want iPhones dnd drunk elephant but still play with toys occasionally and sit on my lap at the doctors if nervous.

Mine is the one with the older sister so I’m sure she’s brought up things that some parents consider too old for the group.  I just set limits.  Facebook kids messenger goes to sleep early, no drink elephant bit bubble or elf for skincare and no boys or girls until high school.[/quote]

Since you say she has an older sister, how does this play out at home? Does older sister taunt younger sister for being a baby or immature or telling her things she likes aren't cool just because she's younger?[/quote]

8:33 here - No, we don’t have anything like that at all, exposure to more mature topics is the biggest challenge.   I’m sure some of those topics are being shared with friends earlier than would be typical for an only or oldest child.[/quote]

I asked the question, because how it plays out is these girls like to tell the girls not into these things that they are babies and immature. The literally tell them they are acting immature so I'm wondering where they hear it since that seems to be the big insult. [/quote]
