Help me answer this question.....

Children say things like this all the time and often don't know what it means. They have their own ideas of what it means and most of the time it is completely innocent. I would ask her what it means to marry, and she may surprise you with her answer. The best reaction when a child asks a question is to not act like it's a big deal. Just be honest, but only give as much information as is necessary. If you get anxious about it or avoid answering, she may think she did something wrong or ask another child and end up with the wrong information.

don't worry, it is normal, and it is very important for you to find out what her really think.

I think that all children pass through this stage at some time or another. Boys do get attached to their mum while girls do get attached to their father. She will grow out of it.

It is nothing to worry. children see the world in their own way. we need not panic at drop of a pin.I also have a 3.5 yr old niece. she also says many such questions. its better to clear their ideas their way.

Don't worry.. my daughter said that too when she was 4. They'll learn slowly that people don't marry their dads and it is very soon to talk about marriage now anyways. I know how you feel because all these gilrs are so obsessed with princess stories and they don't have anything there except love and romance. No wonder the little ones think of nothing else!

I think a lot of children do this, it is only because they do not understand things. My kids are always on about marrying other members of the family, when they do, I just gently explain to them that they cannot because they are family. They do not always understand straight away but eventually they do.

Hehehe, that's cute! I don't think at that age that it means anything more than she loves her daddy. I would think it should be taken as a compliment to the love that is shown between Mom & Dad. Kids pick up on the fact that Mom & Dad are devoted to each other and treat each other well, and if it's a wonderful relationship then she's basically saying she wants the same kind of loving relationship. I don't think it's anything more than love and admiration for her daddy...and that speaks well of him and how he treats his wife and his loving relationships. What parent wouldn't want the same for their child?! I would simply reply: and I love you too! (and not mention anything more...she's far too young to understand.) She will understand more about love and marriage when she gets older.

Don't worry about that question because every little girl would go thru that stage thinking that they will marry their Daddy or Daddy is the Prince Charming. My 4 years old declared this topic to us and her Daddy told her that he is already Mama's prince charming and as she can see in the pictures, Daddy is already married. She accepted this reasoning and the next question was, "who will she marry..." I sang to her "Que sera, sera" and the usual, "you have to finish studying first.." They are just curious about everything and you just have to explain to them gently as clearly why they can or they can't. Their attention span is still limited so they will move on to another topic quick.

Don't worry. It is all quite normal. Little girls look up to their daddy's and yes, some imagine that they will someday marry them. They grow up and this little stage passes.

This situation never happened to me yet... but I prefer that it will never occur As a father I should probably react proud and happy because my daughter loves me but in a sense of looking at my daughter at her age means she is still young and dont know anything about the different kinds of love this world has to offer... I will probably just let it pass by in due time she will learn the different meanings of love may it be platonic romantic and so on... Do not be bothered she is still at her exploring age let it be and in the future she will understand.

Hi, How lovely your niece is!Her daddy is the only one that she love,don't worry it!

Don't be alarmed. She just a kid. Every child at her age has that kind of view or judgment in life. I think they had a topic in school about love. That's why she says that. Happy posting!!

To be honest, i would find that quite funny. Do not worry though, when she grows up she will realize how marriage and the rest works.

hehe, tell her simply its against the law. police will arrest if you do so.......
