Scotty & Sal recently came across the story of parents of a 10 year old debating what to do about their daughter proclaiming they “had a boyfriend.”  The story pointed out that nothing age-inappropriate was taking place, and that at that age they obviously weren’t going out on dates so they found comfort that it was just a new stage of life for their growing child.

Youth Councillor from Real Talk Australia, Kym Keady shared with Scotty & Sal that perhaps moments like this are a great opportunity for parents to have some really important respect conversations with their little person!
