difficult child stuff. kt is spending the night. She's matured so much over the last month. She's discussing her sadness appropriately, being a goofy tween.
Yet I see a disturbing sexuality (very seductive) behavior. When husband & I called her on it tonight she wiggled her bottom at us & said it's what all the kids do. (Wanted to smack that little bottom, however she was asked to redo that - she then answered our question without the suggestive wiggle.)
Now I know that the media has younger & younger children acting in overly mature & sexy ways; yet this seemed over the top - provocative. Daring. Icky.
I suppose this becomes our next hurdle with kt. She needs to learn how to present herself & her body language in a way that is safe - a message that will not be interpreted in an unhealthy manner for her.
Just how concerned should I be? Is this normal for tweens or is kt taking it further than the norm?
