children help: Does she have problems…? - Help.com

er, no. she’s only 8. she’s a kid!

Children as young as eight don’t, or at least shouldn’t, see things in the same sexualised way as adults, so I wouldn’t assume that her reasons for doing what she is are the same as the assumptions that you/your mom are making.

Most eight year old girls think that boys are stupid and shout and most eight year old boys think that girls smell; this is all right and proper and I wouldn’t, personally, worry about it. :)

and she like to touch us and they ahhhh…
:S
and sometimes she says: i want to kiss you..on your lips.. :S

At eight years old, she is going to be curious about herself, her body, other people’s bodies, what bodies do… that’s normal.

It’s how you handle her inquisitiveness that matters. She needs clear guidance on what is acceptable and what isn’t acceptable socially, what is private and not private. Be calm and sensible in your response but be sure she knows where the boundaries lie. Tell her “that behaviour is considered unacceptable and you need to stop”. But be ready to answer questions honestly and in a mature way. Set the example she needs to follow.

A lot of youngsters are confused by the images forced on them through media, tv and movies. Check that she doesn’t have access to material that is unsuitable for her age group. Is this where she is getting the idea of what she should be like?

As for not liking boys, that’s completely normal at age eight! Think back and you’ll find everyone you knew at that age thought much the same.
