What to do? What to say?

So our 6 year old has been informing us on what’s been going on at school regarding a few of the kids in her class. Some of these children seem to be a bit advanced.. they’re already talking about kissing on the lips and neck, liking one another, having babies together. To me this is so overwhelming to hear about especially because we raise her to (be a child) she’s childlike. Nothing like what’s going on in her class room. I’m happy she trusts us enough to tell us all of this stuff but I am concerned, we want her to stay a child right now 🥹. I have reached out to her teacher before about a similar incident and she let me know that doesn’t happen in her classroom and she’ll speak with the class as a whole. However this is still going on and our daughter has clarified many times this is indeed going on in class and out of class. What do I do? What do I say?

Speak to school again and mention safeguarding x

I understand your concern and would definitely address again but I do want to say it was the same when I was in school (in the 90s). Especially the bus. I heard all sorts of trash. My oldest did too. I had to give him a sort of age appropriate lesson on sex in kindergarten to correct the stuff he was hearing from other kids. It's really disheartening but I guess the silver lining is we've always had those open conversations with him and it has served him well into his teen years.

Oh wow! So young! I’m only 23 and I didn’t learn stuff till year 6 sex ed! I was so innocent my partner says 😂!. I would be the exact same I get playing mums & dads role play as a game what children do with dolls etc but kissing on the lips and things is abit much but it’s hard because they may hear their parents, see things, be affectionate anyway as kids are. I’d personally speak to the school again and discuss your concerns
