[QUOTE="keista, post: 452425, member: 11965"] Welcome to the board, and welcome to puberty! Is your daughter developing already? My 10 y/o looks like she's 12-13 right now. Pubic hair is in, and her cycle is on it's way! The curiosity is a natural component. Keep talking to her - Daily if possible. Keep it positive, but make it clear that she's not to touch others just as others are not to touch her. Really, how would she feel is some [B]stranger[/B] walked up to her and touched her breast for "good luck"? I'd also be asking her where she got that notion. I pray this did not come from peers at school. (apparently, boys in middle school and up make a game for how many girls they can fondle in the hallways. By planting such a 'good luck' notion in the younger girl's heads, girls are essentially being groomed for sexual abuse en masse) Find some age appropriate material for her. Personally, I used to go through my Dad's "National Geographic" collection. in my opinion whether it's natural curiosity or an underlying issue, if you try to completely squash the behavior/curiosity, you will accomplish nothing and just drive her 'underground'. Discuss the dangers of 'inappropriate' material online. #1 it's ILLEGAL for her to be viewing it, and #2 (which is more important to me as a mom) she might stumble across stuff she is not ready to see, and even once ready and familiar with sex in general, might come across things she DOES NOT want to see. been there done that myself. While it is normal to feel that way, try not to. You just have to up the communication as your daughter struggles with this phase of her life. [/QUOTE]
