Not to say there isn't still classic going out as described above. But I wouldn't take the chance. Group play under observation only. And she can say "she is too young to 'go out'".
Ewww. As my BIL the Dr says, once I show you a picture of g *******a of the throat, you will never do that again!

What's the worst that happens, they play doctor?

That never hurt you or me, did it?

Why would they play doctor when the girl has no interest in "going out" with this boy? There is nothing to encourage or condone.

That's true too, but if she were interested in it, it's still no big whoop.

Have you not seen the different levels of development these two ages are at?

My cousin just found out her 6th grade boy has been talking about bj's left and right to his friends and exactly what they are and how he can't wait for one. IMO 4th graders playing doctor wouldbe over the top, but a sixth grader... hell no, that's not appropriate ever.

Being 37 years old, I have been both ages before, so yes, I've more than seen it, and I think you are exaggerating the difference severely. (Furthermore, I do not believe that "different levels of development" is sufficient proof that one party is being coerced or harmed.)

(When I was in school, grades 4-6 were in the same homeroom. Granted it was a smaller school.)

And you weren't exposed to the stuff kids are exposed to today. ie. Porn on demand on any screen they want.
