Question

My son is in first grade, and he has been getting phone calls from a girl in his class. If we do not answer the phone in time , she will leave a message, then call back , and call back !!! Is it me, or is this to young to be starting ??

Answer 1

Hmm, I think it is normal but perhpa syou need to remind this young lady of her manners and set rules down for hwen she can call and how long they can talk. Then do as your parents did and have a long ear

Answer 2

There's nothing wrong with a 7 year old getting phone calls, they are too young for you to be concerned. If the girl is annoying you because she keeps calling back - next time she calls, you get on the phone and explain to her (be very nice) that she can call your son but the rule is - if we don't answer the phone you leave a message - do not keep calling back - 1 call a night - tell her is your son does not call her back then she will see him at school and can talk to him then.

Answer 3

First you need to talk to the girls parents. Do they know that she is making this many calls? My son (who is now in 3rd grade) started getting calls from girls around that time too....but we set rules, he was only allowed to talk to each person once in the day and then for only like 5-10 min ( he was not allowed to answer the phone and I would always ask who was calling so I knew who he was talking to) and he also had to do the talking in a public area (ie, living room, kitchen) so I could kinda monitor the calls......which wasn't a big deal for him cause he didn't really want to be on the phone anyways....so far this has seemed to work out well for us.

Answer 4

To be honest I was shocked to say the least when my son told me at age 3 he had a girlfriend (aka "a girl that's a friend mom, my best friend that's a girl). I was even more shocked when at 4 he had girls from preschool calling (for playdates and sleep overs). At 5 he worried me as he would stare lustfully at them (& grown womens' chests too)... always commenting oon pretty they were. At 6 he wants to marry them now. He has this idea that when a boy and girl are boyfriend-girlfriend then that means that they hold hands once in awhile when they walk, that he is to protect her from school yard bullies (very rare occurance though), talk alot, play together legos and other toys, visit and have sleep overs so they can stay up late playing and watching Disney movies), and are basically just best friends. My son says that the only difference between the relationships is this:

girlfriends are best friends you hug and kiss (give a peck to) when you say goodbye

wives/being married means girlfirends & boyfriends forever

He is 6 but in 1st grade too. Asking around, out of paranoid parental mom curiosity, I found this to be the consensous of his class... thank goodness!
However, I did find out that seveal of them had their own wild and outlandish theories on sex... some frightening (mostly told to thme by their slightly older siblings), so beware that this is the age when they will soon be asking questions on that too. I'm just glad mine hasn't asked yet.

P.S. The girl's calling is something that if it bother's you you should address with the little girl and her parent by explaining that she need just call once and he'll return it when he can. But as for the calling in general, I think it is perectly normal that friends call to socialize outside of school. Do you only socialize with your people at work? No. You call friends, family, and whomever whenever you want to speak to them. It's normal socialization. And, you have to remember too that kids are impulsive and impatient too. If they want to then they did it unless told otherwise. I think it's normal behaviour and should not be taken too seriously or anything negative read into it.

By the way, you may want to ask your parents or grandparents about this. They may even recall your doing this. Ha ha.

Answer 5

I also have a 7 year old that came home with his "girlfriends" number. I personally would say let them have their fun. We let them call each other and it only lasted maybe 4 days and they were bored of it. At the same time he was calling her sister and the girls were calling my son's best friend!! It's not like they are getting married so personally I don't think you should be negative towards him about it. I read somewhere that kids do like the opposite sex and it is around this age they decide they others have COOTIES!

Answer 6

I have a younger brother who gets phone calls from little girls. They are just friends...they may say that they are "boyfriend and girlfriend" but all it means is best friends. I remember having little crushes in 2nd grade, its no big deal. Taking the phone away is unfair. You should let him talk on the phone for mabye 10 to 15 minutes, then cut it off. They will probably get bored by that time anywho. It is good practice and good for the develment of social skills. Let them talk. As for her repitive calling, try having your son tell her on the phone, that he wont call he back if she calls over and over, and that she is getting him into trouble. Kids listen to their peers better anyway. If that doesnt work, talk to her parents about it. Dont discourage your child from being social, it may harm him in the long run

Answer 7

I know how u feel, my son is the same age and he gets them to, I think they are to young, this is just like my 15 year olds phone calls, I told one little girl that she need not to call all the time I will let him know and he will call you.

Answer 8

Your son is a natural in the pimp game already. Let him talk to the girls and hone his skills. Tell him this is normal for girls to keep calling him because he is so fine. By the time he is 18 he will be the ultimate playa machine. He will be a hard catch when he gets older. His experience with women will be very extensive. He will have great charisma. So he will always know which women to bring back to mom and you wont see him getting suckered by gold diggers and he will always have the best looking and acting women. So that means no ugly grand children. He will be much more sure of himself. Give the little bugger a round of applause.

Answer 9

I am amom of 4 kids. My oldest is 23,My youngest 11.
My oldedt son started getting calls in 1st grade.Only then the little
girls were not that bad.Now my youngest kids are totally different.the same thing happened to them.Alot of parents are not home and do not know what thier kids are doing.While some parents just r not paying attention to what their kids r doing.I think kids are alot braver these days.So,I don't think it is unusual.
Try calling the parents when she leaves the number. Maybe that will help

Answer 10

They are just kids having fun. Talk to your son about the time he spends on the phone and monitor the call.
