Our girlies are 10 years old....& are in 4th grade! There has been this situation going on at school for the last few weeks that has us very concerned! The school is hosting a 4th grade graduation luncheon & there will be a DJ & dancing. Apparently the boys think they have to get a date. Seriously??? Ah yeah..NOT happening with my two.Why is this even thought of in a 10 year old mind? You are 10!! You are suppose to be thinking about playing ball, skate boarding & hanging with friends. Better yet...play your freaking nintendo games!! Not worrying about dating or having a girlfriend!!!
We raise our daughters' on what is important in life, focus on school, having self respect & what is expected of them. Not worrying about boys right now! Did I mention that they are ONLY 10 years old? We are really concerned on what these boys are thinking? Where are they learning this stuff? What are their parents teaching them? And you wonder why we have so many teenage pregnancies & sexually transmitted diseases. Believe me when I say I know girls can be promiscuous...but we as parents need to teach our children that having girl/boyfriends is not necessary at this age. It's not even cute or acceptable!
Here is a story to share with you that happen one day when my husband went to pick up our girls from school!
There is this boy that really likes our one daughter, he has liked her since 1st grade. Nice young man I might add. This boys mom was making small talk with my husband & she came right out & said that her son told her that our daughter has a nice butt!!!! WHAT?? All my husband could do was look down & shake his head. I was ticked. I can not believe this parent actually thinks it's ok for her child to think that way. And why would you think to tell the girls father that your son likes. Kids at this age should not be thinking about this & the parents certainly should not be encouraging it either!
I am not naive to think they won't start to like boys...but that is it..... LIKE! Not wanting to have boyfriends or making it known that they like them. We want our girls to be kids not worrying about this stuff right now. They are too young & they have their whole life ahead of them.
The situation at school was aware of it but was letting it go until we called to let them know what was going on & then to our finding so was another parent. She was not happy about either. The teachers are taking care of the situation & making it known that this dance is not a date dance. I am so glad this is being resolved at school & our girls know it too!
