...afraid (see details)? I'm afraid that if she makes any comments about it at school that she is going to get made fun of. She's only 5 and in kindergarten, but at home I hear her say things to her sister like she wishes she could kiss Gabriella, and she says that she is in love with her.
When I hear her sister (who's 7) say things about boys like "Joe from the Jonas brothers is my boyfriend" I joke around and tell her she shouldn't be thinking boys are cute because she's still my little girl. But I don't know what to say to her sister because I don't want to make her feel ashamed or anything. When she said something this morning I just laughed and said "you're goofy."
But I wonder if there's a way I can tell her (without giving her a complex) that it's okay to think girls are pretty but she shouldn't say things like that at school or to other kids because they might make fun of her? Or should I just leave it alone? I don't want her to feel bad or wrong at all but I know kids can be very very mean and that worries me.
