Re: How do you go about managing daughters’ interaction with Uncles etc
10/12 is still quite young to me.. I wouldn’t see anything wrong with my future daughters being on dad’s lap at that age or getting a hug or peck on the cheek as they’re getting older (I still do that now when saying goodbye).. My own father is naturally affectionate so maybe that’s why I see things a bit differently.. I’d want my daughter to obviously differentiate between ‘any’ man and those in our immediate family.. I wouldn’t want her to grow up being suspicious of every male or thinking every guy is potentially capable of abuse as I don’t think that’s healthy for her (or true).. I do realise abuse happens within families as well but as I’ve said if I believed there was any potential for that happening they wouldn’t be around me or my kids full-stop.. I personally find the talk of girls needing to cover up infront of their brothers and other immediate family members for those reasons quite distasteful as well..
