Teach them to be respectful early and that will stay that way forever.

My 4 year started preschool this year and I was teasing him about “girlfriends” and he said no mommy they’re my best friends. I left it at that 🥰

Advice from a mom with an 18 yr old, 11 year old, and 8 year old.. Ask him what he thinks a girlfriend is and what he thinks it means to be a boyfriend. Then explain to him in kid terms what kind of responsibility it is to be a partner. That's how I fixed my oldest and youngest wagon.

He's 4. He has 4 friends. Girlfriend and boyfriend doesn't have to come until later. He just needs friends Also, if they all know about each other then they are also just friends. 🥰🥰🥰

I agree! Maybe ask what the word means to him? Their understanding isn’t always what we think it is.

Yes!!! And when my little boys said they liked a girl, and they showed her to me, I didn’t say “oh she’s cute”. I said “she must be smart” or “she muse be very special for you to like her”. I didn’t want them focusing on a girl for her looks, and wanted them to see value in the girls they liked.

Some people may find it to be a non issue, but I think there’s a valuable lesson here. Yes, he may be four, but there’s a good chance he’ll remember this conversation one day.
