It's normal. Just talk to her, and be there to answer any questions. If she's a good smart kid, you shouldn't have any thing to worry about. What's important is that she can make good decisions.

LOL No not odd at all.....Mine started talking about boys when they were 8 and 9.
What was funny was that the ethics and example that I held up for them to see what being a man was all about, it was cute to here them talk about so and so being nice...but lazy. Or, he's really cute but not real brite.
Being interested in boys is not a bad thing either.... you have a chance to work with her at eleven when a daddy is still the most important person in her life. Dont be afraid to point out a boy and ask her what she thinks about him. This is your opportunity to point out life values...like cleanliness for example. I used to play a game with my daughters when we would go to the mall. I would point out a boy in their age group and ask...OK...that one....what kind of boyfriend would he be?? It used to get hysterical...they would come up with the funniest stuff...like....He looks like a guy that would pick through garbage cans and bring it home.
Have fun with her....they grow up so fast...you turn around and poof!! they are married and on their own.

I don't think it would necessarily be odd, as long as she is just going through those "puppy love" crushes, really innocent stuff. Anything beyond that for that age would probably be odd.
When I was 11, I had crushes on actors, but also a boy in my 7th grade class. I was always saying, "No, I don't like him other than as a friend" to my friends, who never believed me.

That's totally normal. My nieces are 11 and 9 and they are both starting to get boy crazy. They're both super smart girls. They go to a private school, speak a foreign language, play several instruments and sports, and are of course straight-A students. They're the type of girls who are the best at everything...I'm actually kind of jealous of them. Anyways, their parents have no objections to boys. Boys are allowed to come over and play and swim. They're allowed to talk on the phone with boys as well. Don't worry about it. Just don't have any boy/girl sleepovers! :)

It's not odd hun, she's pretty much beginning puberty. So, i sugguest that u talk to her about boys and decide what u think is best. Rather children like it or not, and rather they show it or not, they usually do RESEPCT their parents opions verbally even tho they rebel. Set standards and ask her questions. Make her feel comfy at a time when parents arent cool. She's a pre teen just about. oya parents become VERY uncool unless u give them money when they ask and then u go back to uncool. So umm, good luck and talk to other moms like your daughters girlfriends.
take care

It's not bad that she's interested in boys in that "he's cute" kinda way. But if she's wanting to date and have a boyfriend thats another story. So many younger kids are thinking it's ok to have a girlfriend/boyfriend and it's ok if they kiss/makeout/even have sex. As long as you talk to your daughter and make sure you keep talking to her about boys and dating she'll be just fine.

Girl are interested in boys younger than that. I had a boyfriend in 1st and 2nd grade. Just because your girl is interested in boys doesn't mean that they're intending or wanting to have sex. It's completely normal. It's better her be interested in boys than girls right? Just talk to her, she's smart so she should understand.

Firstly as a parent spend some time with her and educate her about this kind of things. U ask her to set goals for herself in education or any field she is interested in. U tell her all these things are only temporary ask her to maintain good friendship with them. U daughter's life is moulded by the way u educate her.

Preventing her from liking boys even at that age will get back to you later, cause later when she'll be older and have a mind of her own, she'll might do exactly the opposite you told her not to do...and maybe in the worst way...
she's young, she'll forget her first crush..or
You could just ask her casually whom she likes...let her be comfortable to talk about her crushes to her mom...and know you're not against her, but there for her in her best and worst choice..giving her advices and sharing your own stories...
That way you could still stop her if she goes too far...
All the best!

No, she is a girl and girls have feelings as you already heard, but that is ok. keep and eye on her. whenever girls get into junior high they are around other girls that think they are cool and she wants to be like them so while they are standing in the hallway checking out other boys that walk by, she is checking them out too because she thinks it is cool. Talk to her about feelings and she will understand. Good that she is not interested in GIRLS!
