Do you think teasing young kids about having a boyfriend or girlfriend contributes to them being sexually …?
No, however in the future they will be too embarrased to talk to you about things related to boys and girls. It’s definately not a good idea to tease a child over any real life issues because of this factor. You want your kids to be able to come to you and not have to worry about being teased or embarrassed. They should feel comfortable to talk to you about any related topic and the only way for them to trust you is for them to know you will take them seriously and not make them feel uncomfortable. My mother and family members use to do this to me and that kept me from discussing any related topics with any of them. So from my experience I would tell your family that it is not healthy for your child to do this to them and tell them that you would appreciate it if they would not do that. Oh and another thing, whanever your child comes to talk to you about anything they want to be kept between you and him/her, keep it between you and him/her. If you don’t, you will loose all his/her trus
