My 10 year old had his 1st proper kiss Friday.
This seems really young to me. None of my friends kids have kissed anyone yet and some of them are a little older.

I'm really open with my son and have always told that sex, and babies are made between a man and woman that love each other.
Not the case in our family but still wanted him growing up with that belief and morals.

So now what if it's a kiss at 10 what next? I like to think I'm over acting but with kids today I have to admit I'm really worried.
Any one else delt with this yet? Ideas please

Hey there.

Well, I'm not a parent, but I would think it's pretty normal...it also depends on what exactly is a "proper" kiss. I agree with you that it is young, sure, but I think he's okay. I don't think you'd need to be worried so much about a peck on the cheek as much as making out. Either way, if I were you, I'd simply reinforce "the talk." You might want to explain to him that you do know, and that you're not angry at him and that you understand what's going on at his age, but you just want to make sure he doesn't get in "over his head," and that you're open to talk about whatever it is he may want to talk about at any time. That is about the best you can do for him, I would think.

I hope i was of some help, and I wish you both the best.

Hugs,
Harley

I'm not a parent either and I agree that kissing at 10 is fairly young, however, it depends on the type of kiss. I'm guessing it was a peck on the cheek, in which case no problem unless it becomes more serious. On the other hand, if your son was making out with another student, then it's time to pull him back as that's completely inappropriate.

Thanks guys for the advice,
I wouldn't of said it was making out but it want just a peck.
I've spoken to him today, we had the little chat i just said that if he feels there comes a time when HE IS OLDER LIKE 16. And he thinks he wants to do more then just kiss a girl that he should come to me, and that there is nothing to be shamed of its perfectly normal but he should discuss it before doing any thing other then kissing.
Still feel really awkward and worried but not sure what else I can say, I know his a good kid. Just worried about hormones etc.
and there no father figure to talk to him about boys stuff. My dad says his grandad and that's it!! He does football, park, hugs . And that's his job. Nothing else his delt with 2 teenage females his job is done..
Don't really blame him.
