[QUOTE="Andy, post: 403578, member: 5096"] I don't think you are overreacting. How did the other mom respond? This is inappropriate behavior for kids that age. You would have the same response if it was a boy kissing in the same manner. Talk to her about the behavior - it would be wrong with anyone - boy or girl. It is not unusual for kids to experiment but that does not make it o.k. to do so. I would have a calm discussion with her about the time and place for physical display of emotions. What is proper and not proper at her age. Unfortunately, kids tease each other about kissing at a younger and younger age. I am sure she heard stuff at school and wanted to see what it was about. Also, what t.v. shows has she been watching? Sometimes we ignore things not really knowing that kids are tuning into. Kids really do believe that everyone else is doing such things so what is it about? She asked her close friend to help her figure it out. Assure her that not everything she hears is correct. Ask her what questions she may have about it. You did do the right thing about not kicking the other girl out. Asking them to play a different game with the door open was the right thing to do.
