My son is currently 10 years old, and will be 11 in march. I think that he is kissing other girls. Is this normal for his age?

I have talked to him about everything, but I think he may be ready for this.

He probably already has....Sadly, kids today grow-up so fast.

Are you kidding me??? How can you really say that "you think he's ready". Ask all the unwed teenage mothers if they were "ready". I know you may see it as "only a kiss", but there is SOOOOOOOOO much peer pressure going on once you get to junior high and above. Why start him early??? Within a couple of years after they start kissing is when most kids become sexually active. Do you think he'll be ready to deal with HIV or genital warts or gonorrhea as a young teen? Or a baby? Come on dad... quit trying to be the "cool parent" and teach your kid some morals.

My 2 y/o daughter constantly bullies my 6 y/o daughter. She is going to do a variety of the matters like you described, all unprovoked. I simply discipline my 2 y/o and make her go to day out or her room when she shows this type of conduct. It sucks considering my older daughter will get discouraged from playing together with her. I just provide an explanation for to my older daughter that her sis does not do it when you consider that she doesn't care about her but she simply would not comprehend how you can make excellent picks yet and we have got to maintain educating her. I perpetually make my 2 y/o express regret or supply her sis a hug after she is finished with time out. I suppose it simply takes time and discipline to discontinue this conduct. Good good fortune and i am sorry i could not be extra help!

Get a grip,,,,,,,,,,you are on your way to being an early Grandpa with that attitude . The earliest in my opinion would be 13 for kissing girls . Think about it he is still into doing wheelies on his bike and watching cartoons on TV . Discourage the kissing thing for right now and let his mind and ideas mature first .

You know what....I know I'm still a baby in some ways being only 19, but I swear it's getting younger and younger every generation. Kids kissing at younger ages, having sex, smoking....it's way past me.
My generation, kissing didn't start until 15....then again when I was 11, I saw my brother's birth, and that scared me away from boys until I was 18.

My 2 y/o daughter continually bullies my 6 y/o daughter. she would be in a position to do a super sort of the flaws such as you defined, all unprovoked. I only discipline my 2 y/o and make her bypass to outing or her room while she reflects this variety of habit. It sucks because of the fact my older daughter gets discouraged from fiddling together with her. I only clarify to my older daughter that her sis does not do it because of the fact she does not care approximately her yet she only does not know the thank you to make sturdy alternatives yet and we could save coaching her. I continually make my 2 y/o ask for forgiveness or provide her sis a hug after she is complete with outing. i think of it only takes time and discipline to provide up this habit. sturdy success and that i'm sorry i could no longer be greater help!

Let him enjoy his childhood, he is only 10 and a long way off from kissing and other things. If he is kissing, and you know this for sure, then talk to him. Ask him questions, and let him know that he can talk to you any time. Let him know where this can lead, without scaring him for later in his life.

Rather than considering whether or not it's normal, perhaps you should consider your personal values, and talk to your son about boys and girls and relationships and perhaps deeper meanings than kissing. Communication with your son is vital, and if you haven't started, get to it! Tell him what you think, and hear what he thinks. Open and honest discussion is important.

I have a 7yr old son, I don't think they will be intersted in kissing girls until about 7 or 8 grade.

Take your advice from someone who actually IS around your son's age level: Kids don't actually grow up as fast as adults think.
There may be some girlfriends in his life, but kissing doesn't generally come around junior high.
So maybe you should ask him if he has any girlfriends instead of kissing.
There's my short advice. It kind of sucks.
