My daughter is 4. I caught her twice now touching other little girls and kissing them. Is there reason for me to believe that something happened to her and what can I do? Please help

You have everyright to be concerned. As a parent it is natural. I am a teacher and I see this thing happening often with young children. Children are innocent. Sometimes they are just be friendly, but a parent should never overlook any concerns. It doesn't mean necessarly that something has happened to them, although one can't rule that out. The main thing you need to do is listen to what she says when this happens, I have had a few causes of talk that a child should never be saying which indicates something is going on. If there is no concern in this area, you need to be firm and tell the child every time no that is not good. The message will get home. If something does concern you then you need to be on a higher level of alertness and try to identify the source. It is possible that she has maybe watched something on t.v that she now is copying.

How is she touching?
Many little girls give hugs and kisses to their friends. But I would lke to know more details on the touching. Thanks
