Can little girls flirt?

[SheWarrior]

I feel really really uncomfortable using flirting as a description between an interaction between an adult and a small child

I don’t like it either.

In hindsight, 'flirt' was a poor choice of word. Just the quickest word that came to mind, which is why it was written in quotes on the title of the thread. Has raised some helpful answers from all, but was more about the 'playing off against each other' angle.

I saw someone mentioned 'buttering up' perhaps this would have been a better term as it doesn't carry the same sexual connotations, but I was referring more to the behaviours themselves than anything else. Didn't know if girls this age have figured out the concept of using their looks or the 'cute factor' to get their own way yet.

‘‘Twas me who used the term and oh absolutely kids of that age know how to use the cute factor to get their own way!
