question about littles

[emploding.livejournal.com]

ok...i know we havent posted heer for a while...but we are now :P
My skittles have been out a lot today...and noticably out... which is kinda unusual...especially when anyone else (even my girlfriend) is around...
But Lara, whos 7, was out for a few hours this afternoon. Just playing with Kristin (my girlfriend), rumbling and tickling and stuffs...ibut she seems to have a sudden fascination with playing with, and touching, Kristins breasts.
Kristin thought it was a game at first...but then Lara kept going...and going...and going. She then started on between Kristins legs.
Lara then decided to get into the bath with Kristin and kept trying to touch her.
I dont really know what happened from there...but i know Lara got upset coz the bigs get to touch her...so why cant she?
Kristin tried to explain it to her...but Lara got upset, got convinced that Kristin hated her, and left.

Anyways...i dont know what to do... coz none of the skittles have ever been like this before. Do i ignore it and hope she gets over it? Ignore it and let Kristin deal with it? or try and talk to Lara or get someone to talk to her and try and explain it to her?

ick...i dunno. i need sleep. i need to shut everyone up lol

sorry for rambling.

...maybe the bigs should talk to Lara and explain that that's an "adult" thing, especially with Kristin. Or would Lara respond better to Kristin, if she talked to her about boundaries?

Just a thought...just a suggestion.

I've worked with pre-school and primary-age kids, and actually it's quite natural for some kids to do that sort of thing (though I've seen it more in younger kids of about 3 or 4 rather than 7). So I wouldn't be too worried. But anyway, my general rule of thumb when dealing with inner kids is treat them the same as I would treat external kids of the same age. Lara, at 7, is old enough to be told & to understand that what she did is a "grown-up" thing and that she shouldn't touch people that way.

Oddly enough my little (I only have one little, and at 10 she's more a middle than a little) has also been more active than usual lately.

The Little People usually behave, but I have noticed some of mine coming out more often now. Sleepy took it upon herself to write her name all over our notebook, and some of the others have been popping up too. I'm not really sure why. Anyway, I reccomend explaining to Lara that what the bigs do is "Big Stuff" and that she can have fun with Kristin in other ways. She's old enough to understand that. :)

Lara has locked herself in her room and wont come out or talk to anyone...but when she does...ill get someone to talk to her and explain everything to her... :)
