about your 8 year old

hi- if it were me i would ask why she wants to first and then do what feels right to you, does sound like wants some closeness.... i remember being 5/6 and asking my mom what it tastes like as she was nursing my sister and she let me and i never asked again, i was curious.....also, this may be strange but i am new to this and do not know how to start a thread (topic) can you help? i hope i am able to find this again if you reply....

Think it is okay for her to try

Finally you need to decide whats best for you and your kids. You know them the best.

It has already been said by others, but my vote is:
-talk about why she wants it
-let her try OR be clear and firm that it is absolutely not a possibility. Being wishy-washy about it will encourage her to keep asking.
-connect physically through massage, dance or whatever you do
-talk about how proud you are of her as she develops and point out the fun of being a "big girl"

Good luck to you.
