Dear Queenie,
My grandchildren (cousins) are a boy and a girl about the same age – second- and third-graders. When they are together their parents let them run around naked, give them baths together and so on.
Queenie, is this all right?—Worried grandmother
Dear Grandmother,
No, this is not appropriate. Tell the parents it is time to start teaching their children to respect their bodies and have some sense of privacy. This should have been done long before the children were of school age, and certainly must be done long before they start hitting puberty.
