Baby Girl has a boyfriend?

Question

My daughter is 7 and in second grade. THis is her first year being into boys, now she had a boyfrien. Is this two young?

Answer 1

At her age, they aren't really "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" they just hang out at recess and maybe lunch at school. Its usually very innocent but you should watch and listen very closely to what she says about this boy. You can also ask her: "what does it mean when you say you and him are going out?" or "what do you think having a boyfriend means?" You can use this as an opportunity to open lines of communication for later in her life when a boyfriend can become not so innocent. My daughter is 9 and just had her boyfriend break up with her just to make her jealous and asked her back out 2 days later. She asked me what I thought she should do (Probably wont be too many more times in the next 10 years that I'll hear that ) and I used it as an opportunity to install some self esteem and told her to tell him no and gave her many reasons to help build her confidence. If at anytime you feel that it isn't innocent anymore then you can step in but until then I would just listen, ask questions, seem interested etc.. it may be worthwhile and helpful when she is older. Good Luck

Answer 2

as long as she is in school or around boys period she will have a "boyfriend". when you are 7 this consists of saving a swing for a significant other. i had a boyfriend at 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, and so forth. my mother never knew. there is really no need to either condone it or acknowledge it. its just something you do to pass time in school. no need to set up play dates or get to know the young man. it will dissapate in a few days.

Answer 3

My three year old step son came home a few weeks ago saying a girl in his class is his "girlfriend". I was Shocked! After thinking about it though I realized it is just a phase and this to shall pass. Its fine, let her say its her boyfriend and feel proud about it. It mostly means "mom someone likes me YAY" Im sure all they do is eat lunch together and hold hands. I mean they are never alone together since they are in school, neither can drive and parental supervison will always be around if they ever do hang out outside of school.

Answer 4

well She has a crush Not really a Boy friend and it is ok for a 7 year old to have a Crush.All kids go thru this.I have 3 kids .Mine are now 21 and 11 and 14.

Answer 5

I wouldn't be too concerned. At 7 the most they will prolly do is hold hands and such. My 6 year old cousin has had a girlfriend for 2 years and they just hold hands and are friends.

Answer 6

You know what I woundn't worry about that. By tomorrow morning when she has to go to school she will figure that boys are all icky again. If I remember I went through the same thing at that age

Answer 7

It used to be called "puppy love" and is harmless, usually, if the other half is not older, wiser, and is the beginning of learning social behavior. Don't make a big deal of it, just keep watch from a distance, so to speak.

Answer 8

If it the see that boy all the way across the playground, he is my boyfriend, it is normal. I know I did it, some 15 years ago.

Answer 9

Its incredibly as much as you. it incredibly is the two or you additionally can use the two your lasts names. there is not any regulation that declares it ought to be his final call. I had a toddler with my boyfriend and that i gave her is final call. My sister in regulation gave her son the two or their final names so it fairly is as much as you too what you prefer.

Answer 10

nah...don't worry about it. at that age, they don't have any idea what they're talking about. it's more of a title and talking on the playground at recess than anything else. in a couple of days, it'll be over and she'll be crushed. it's totally normal.
