Crushes!
My son just told me about this pretty girl in class. I was shocked. Well, not that I am totally awed because I had my fair share of crushes when I was back in grade school but I was just caught by surprise.
He is actually 9 years old. Pretty late! I had my first crush back in kindergarten. So I came up with this thought, is he ready to talk about sex? I guess not that deep yet. But for sure, he will be noticing the body of girls in no time as he silently stares at this beautiful girl in class.
So what am I going to do? Simple. What I did was tell him to look at the beauty of this girl and talk to her. Get to know her deeply and don’t be afraid to ask questions. I told him that he could invite her over for dinner if she wouldn’t mind. Liking someone is part of your child’s growth, you don’t have to restrain them. You just have to guide them.
