My son is five and just started Kindergarten this September. My son has a friend that rides the school bus each day with him and she lives one block over. She's a great little girl and they get along fantasticlly. She's a grade older. Her mom works, while I SAHM so I've been offering to pick up her daughter at the bus stop and she and my son play at my house until mom can pick her up about a 1/2 hr to an hour after school. We've been doing this for about a month now. My son is absolutely crazy about her and told me he is "in love with her". The mom and I just laughed it off when I mentioned it to her.
Today at bedtime he told me he wanted to tell me a "secret"....and then said that he kissed the little girl on the bus today. He was literally all smiles and looked like a mini love struck teenager. I was totally calm and asked him if he requested the kiss or had she. He said he asked her if he could kiss her and she said "sure". I then asked what kind of kiss. He said a "mommy and daddy type kiss" and I got a little nervous....asked him to please demonstrate. Turns out it was just one of those "soap opera" long kisses on the lips, head moving back and forth, but NO OPEN MOUTH.
So, after explaining that its a little inappropriate to kiss girls at this age and so on and so on, I'm just wondering...do I mention it to the mom and what do I say. I don't really view it as a huge deal, just puppy love, but I don't want to come off as not being proactive either. Any advice???
You can just tell her "my son told me that he kissed your daughter on the bus yesterday. I think he has a crush on her and I wanted to let you know that I told him it is innapropriate to kiss girls like that at his age. I will be keeping a really close eye on them after school so that it doesn't happen again." or something like that.
in our day, it wouldnt be a big deal. Unfortunately, in this current society, little boys have been labeled as sexual harrassers and stuff for kissing girls on the playground or whatever. I'd try not to make to big a deal out of it, you dont want to scare him, but let him know he's too young for kissing. It's good that he told you about it and you dont want to make him afraid to tell you things in the future.
Tell the mom just like you said it here. Doesn't sound like a big deal. Explain to her that you've told him to refrain from this behavior from now on.
Awwww.
I had my first kiss at 5 on the playground. He later "broke up" with me ;) when I wouldn't get off the bus at his stop. Not that it changed anything. We still played everyday on the playgrounf.
"Thundercats! Hooooooooooooo!"
Tell the little girls mom and make sur nothing happens again tell her mom to explain 2 the little girl your 2 young 2 kisss goood luck
