Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring? Exploring as in my daughter says outright “I am going to kiss you,” to her bestie before bed.

To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.

Any guidance as to how things fall outside insurance would be helpful. TIA.
