So I have a 5 year old and a 4 year old girl and boy. My friend and her 4 year old dtr are here all the time. Well a few weeks ago my son 4 and her dtr decided it would be fun to take pics on my phone. Needless to say they took pics of each others bare bottoms. I know they are at the stage where they are curious and all that. Well tonight they are all playing a game trying to play braking dawn. 1st let me say this I do not let my kids watch movies like this. They are 2 young to be but my friend does let her dtr. Anyways my dtr 5 gave hers a hickey on her neck. So my ? Would be have any of you ever gone through this before? I can't punish them bc they don't know it's bad and you don't do this but 1st the pics and now this all I keep thinking is what's next?
Re: Oh my lord...
Have a conversation with your children about appropriate touching and private parts. Don't link this coversation to the pictures or the hickey- just a general conversation. Explain to them that there are parts of their bodies that should remain covered and explain was kind of touching is "good" and if someone doesn't want to be touched, you have to respect that, etc.
Also, my brother put a vacuum hose on my sister's chin and gave her a "hickey" that way when they were about the same age. It happens.
