I asked her to stop and asked her if her mom had ever seen her dance like that. (I knew the answer) She said, "No." I asked if that was because she knew her mom would not approve. She answered, "yes."
I had to call her mom in and tell her what had occurred. We both agree that we aren't trying to shame her, but told her that was a dance for adult women only. Mom agrees that we need to accept that kids can have sexual feelings, but that there are things she absolutely cannot do as a child.
My baby girl!!!! 😔 😟 🙁
I had to reassure her that she was not in trouble.

(5,890 posts)Agree - you don't want to shame her, but it's important to let her know it's not appropriate.
I love this child as much as I could my own. I would run in front of a bus to save her, literally. She'll be 5 next week. My boss said it was OK to buy her a small gift. Under $20.00.
She loves pink, princesses, dresses and unicorns.

That would be my question? She saw it somewhere.
