Hi @Keithro,
Welcome to the ReachOut Parents Forums and thank you for making your first post.
I just want to let you know that most of the advice and content here is related to parents of teens 12-18- but I am sure that a lot of content on the forums could also be applicable to a younger age group too
You mentioned that your daughter has romantic feelings for a friend of hers, but feel she is too young for a relationship, is this correct? Is this a discussion you have had with her before about relationships and ages you would support a relationship? Starting a conversation with your daughter may be an opportunity to set up some trust with her to talk to you about sexuality and relationships in future.
ReachOut have some resources about relationships and sexuality- these might be helpful to have a look at, particularly the video about sexuality. Keep in mind that these resources are mainly related to parents of teens but hopefully will helpful for you too
