IN REPLY TO: 9 year old with too much guilt / and touching problems?
AUTHOR: ana&roy
hello single mom of 3 girls here. And what I was thinking after reading your post. Is that maybe she is starting to get interested in boys and is having a conflict with that, ya know. she wants to stay a little girl. And she doesn't know how to deal with these new feelings and that makes her feel guilty about it.. The teacher probally isn't doing anything wrong. But after that dream and maybe your daughter kinda likes him in a 9yr old way, of course. Causes her to feel aqward.. And the same with the other boys in her class.. Some girls matture early I feel to early but you can't stop that. But maybe you can help her feel comfortable in the fact that its natural but don't act on feelings this young... I maybe way off base but thats probally how I would handle it. I as well have a 9yr old. I would start by just slightly bring up that she growing up ect. Good luck hope I helped Ariesmom3
