@FalSkyWolf@NeuroRebel I have a feeling that discouraging will actually lead to it been seen as shameful and then they may start to hide and not talk about anything regarding that kind of touching even such as abuse. Keeping communication open is important. Kids don't always understand why.
@yaya_jessi_nerd@NeuroRebel I don't really think a private public space is a clear message for a 5 year old. Bedroom on your own sure. I would worry that public spaces might be too much of a rish for predatory behavior becoming accustomed to. Like, oh I can be sneaky. I agree hygiene& otherscomfort&private.
Thanks you husband for learning to make guacamole for my breakfast this morning. Even though you refused to listen to me tell you how to make it. You looked it up and are making it. Even though I could have just told you how. Thank you.
@DanGuerrard Wait until she is older. I just say to her use your pinch fingers. She can use chop sticks. If she isn’t holding the pencil correctly it’s because she doesn’t want to colour.
My 4 year old is funny:
Brings me her doll, “look inside her mouth. What do you see?” I look. I look at her. She says “nothing of course because he’s pretend.” Walks away laughing.
