What will you do when you find out that your 7-year old daughter has a crush?

Its natural for a mother to feel protective and want her little girl to stay little forever but its also natural for little girls to have a crush or idol that they adore. Be there to listen to her feelings and thoughts, encourage the emotional growth, but don't tell her she can't feel the way she does. Like it or not, the way she learns to process these emotions now will shape how she handles "real relationships" in the future.

My daughter is 8 and she is always having a cruch on different boys! It doesn't go beyond her smiling at him and then doodling on paper "Ashley & Cody" or whoever the boys is. I think it is harmless so I just talk to her about it and ask why she likes a certain boy, the newest one is a boy in her class and she likes him because he is funny and makes her laugh! I think that is an excellent reason, much better than just because he is cute heehee

to me if the boy the same age. just enjoy it no need to freak out over it. just like when you were young and had your first crush.. enjoy it now one day you will blink and she will be 16, then 21 and then all grown up kick back and just enjoy her first crush
