farting in public

I think that burping can be done anywhere, but try to cover your mouth and do it as quietly as possible in places where it isn't appropriate. Passing gas should be controlled more, imo. That is--unless it slips out--try to find a private place to do it, just as you have a private place to pee or poop. Kids who are two and under usually just do it when they feel like it and aren't the least bit embarrassed. At times, kids are like that as old as four. However, once kids get in school, they usually are more modest. That is, unless they have some kind of condition to where they would have to be off by themselves nearly 100% of the time because they're so full of gas that it just kinda drifts out of them SBD-style. A few of my friends seemed to have this sort of condition--but I believe that most of them outgrew it. I just never said anything to them unless they were making it obvious (drawing attention to it) as I assumed that this was embarrassing to them. One little girl in my cousin's grade (fourth at the time) was very pretty and feminine, so it surprised me when Cathy told me what this girl would do in class sometimes when the teacher was out of the room. She'd say one word: "Listen!" then, she'd let one. Most of the time, according to Cathy, it was just like air. No smell, and it would make a kind of soft "sssss..." sound. She probably knew that this would be the result and was amused that she sounded like a beach ball deflating. Still, I couldn't believe that someone of that age would do something like this--especially, in front of a mixed group.

My son is almost 9 and he has figured out that it is gross to do it when there are other people around. He was about your daughters age when he figured it out. At home is another story though. He still thinks it is funny at home.

My daughter is 8 and she still thinks it is funny to do this in public. The problem is that all her friends are just the same. I can't stand bringing her and her friends out with me because they have to make a big deal if they fart or burp and they all end up laughing. I hope it passes soon~

My daughter was twelve before she caught on this is rude to do in puplic. She started the local High School and I think a few other friends told her not to do it. She never paid much attention to me telling her off for it but I guess her friends sorted her out. Your daughter will catch on also in her own time as I was exactly like you and beginning to think my daughter should off been a boy.

Haha, that's funny. Oh well, even adults fart too. And it is a good thing we release such bad air or else they call it the doctor's profit. There are really some people who are not good at controlling such thing. My daughter farts sometimes too unexpectedly.;-) I even tease her for doing it. Yes, it is good to be teaching our kids to do it at the right places. But do we have to run somewhere to burp?
