She spends a lot of time with a boy in her class and I have caught them naked together. She says it's ok because she's too young to be able to get pregnant. What should I do?

First - make absolutely sure she's not being molested in any way, shape or form and then check out what she's watching on tv without your permission, like at a sitters or friends....it's amazing what kids are able to pick up from TV. SHE SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED AND NEITHER SHOULD THE BOY. We need to remember that children are not little adults. They are curious and learning. You don't need a doctor or a shrink unless you have a suspicion she's been molested. I would separate your daughter and the boy because maybe this is his issue. I would also immediately notify the teacher and perhaps the guidance counselor since this is what they are educated in handling -- then let them decide if his parents should be contacted since, once again, you may not know what his home circumstances are and they probably do or at this point will want to find out.

Well talk to her about contraceptives. And tell her why it is wrong to have sex at such a young age. And really sit down with her and give her good reasons about how she is hindering herself. And I would probably only let the boy come over if they are supervised. Not like staring at them every second. But doing things like keeping the door open. Really with tv and media going the way it is. Kids will get interested in sex earlier and earlier. And we must start teaching them about protection and why abstence is a good choice at that young age. And preparing them for there future.

Are you serious? I know when I was about 5, I played doctor with the neighbor boy. We got caught and we had a huge discussion with him and his family, talking about how it was wrong. But 7 year olds should not know about what causes pregnancy. You need to talk to the boy's parents, and not let them play alone again. And you definitely need to take your daughter to the doctor and to a therapist.

Find out EXACTALY what it is they do when they are naked...this could be a simple case of "I'll show you mine if you show me your's" discovering WHY boys and girls are different...then again it might not be. And foremost don't go accusing and making an issue until you are CERTAIN there is reason to.

Hahaha no she is not too young to get pregnant. Don't listen to her if she said that to you.
You'll have to keep a close eye on her, do not under any circumstances, leave her and the boy alone without adult supervision.

Kids are curious... I remember when I was her age, me and my cousine were showing genitals to each other and it wasn't sexual, just curiosity. I am grown up now and I am not a pervert and I didn't loose my virginity untill I was 18, so I wouldn't be to worried about it. BUT - in case of your daughter - you should ask what exactly were they going to do. Showing to each other is ok, sex is not, though. if you are not sure, take her to psychologist, they know better.

wow thats crazy. yeah, tell them they are too young to be naked together and if they do it again, the next time they do see each other they will be old enough to be naked together! that should scare her.

Talk to her first then to see a counsellor to talk about things and why shes doing this at this age also the local doctor is an idea too
