I recently found some notes from a girl in my 10 yr old son's pocket. The notes contained references to french kissing and sex. The way I read the notes it appeared that the girl created a new way to play hide and seek. My husband and I spoke with him about sex and we plan to speak with the girl's parent and show them the notes too. We encouraged him that if he had questions that we would answer them.
No matter what the question.
He's too young to be thinking about sex. I'm scared. What else can I do to prevent this from happening again? - DENISEG5
'Personally, I think that you have handled the situation very well. You can't protect your kids forever, but at the very least you can let them know through open and honest communication that they can come to you with anything. That is the real key issue that keeps things going smoothly.' - IRISHCREAM1
'Although you can't prevent it from happening because you can't control what other children do, you can give your son ways of handling the situations that come up. By keeping the line of communication open and honest... like your doing... he is likely to come to you next time with any more questions he has, etc.' - Denise
