As for your girl wanting to participate in adult conversations – we’ve had the same “problem” with my older son especially. He will jump into any conversation regardless of the topic or people involved and he see’s absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Carlos was definitely raised with the older notion that kids don’t belong in adult conversations and he would tell our son he was being rude. Our older son just didn’t understand it – why was it rude? He was just participating along with everyone else. LOL.

We had to find a balance and at 13 years old now, our son is very mature and can talk politics, economics, current events, or any number of things on a very adult level, (better than some adults probably! LOL.)
