Our 8 year old daughter and my best friends son (7 years old) were told a week or so ago in a conversation with them that we felt they were too young to be boyfriend/girlfriend when they asked us if they could be. Today, when I looked in on the kids, the girl (8) and boy (7) were sitting on the couch UNDER A BLANKET holding hands. What do we do or say that they will understand and accept? We do not want them to rebel like this and do it anyway. Why are our children SO YOUNG interested in this? How do we slow it down and NOT let it get worse?
