While painting the playroom last night I spoke with my daugther about it. I think she understands now that I am always here for her, and that what she is doing is normal, but should be kept private. I did ask her where she learned this and I was shocked by the answer and not really sure how to take it. No she was not molested. She said she learned it in preschool, at nap time, from a boy. She says he never touched her though. I am not really understanding how he taught her then. Is this possible something she made up in her head? We talked for a bit longer. I told her no one is to touch her that way, not even daddy, and if they did, I hoped she would feel comfortable to tell me. She said she would. I also told her that lying about it, telling someone it happened when it really did not, is not a good thing. I am pretty sure she understands that. I am not sure what to do from here. I want to find some books that she can read, with or without me, so that the lines of communiciation remain open. I will research it from home. I hope I handled this right.
