I do not think its a good idea that kids that young date. I do not feel they have the capacity to understand what dating is about. It is really a choice you will have to make, but maybe holding off a couple more years would be a good plan.

Not Even! Pre-teen? What is the rush? thats where we see all of this problem of babies, having babies.
At such a young age, they have no idea how to interput the homonal signals in the first place. Ad just a bit of stimulation, and instantly you have a potential "good girl, gone bad".
I dont know what the ideal age to begin dating might be, because, even at 18-most of us dont have our heads on very streight. At least I didnt. But if we wait till then, many of us will never know the experience of having dated or falling in love.

If your child is not a teen yet, I would compromise and suggest only group dates until a certain age and those dates can only be at a certain time,like in the afternoon.

HELL TO THE NO inspite of she needs to learn certain things on her own dating is a no no tell her if she keeps her grades up she can date when she is 16 but if grades drop no more dates. you need to explain to her that she is to young and she needs to be different from the rest of these out of control teens and stay focused on her gor the time being explain to her how you dont want her to ruin her life by getting hooked on boys and plz tell her not to try the lesbian thing read the bible with her the part about her body being a temple and why she should wait tell her you trust her if you do but you just dont feel comfortable its hard once they make that first mistake tell her how much you love her and do what i do ask to see the guys report card because she dont need to be dating no one who is in special ed and shes a a-b student you need to see how his behavior is the conduct marks his attendance etc........gl

No I wouldn't not in this day and age. We want to trust our children but you can't trust the men and women they are around. I feel the right age to date is 16 and that is with strict restriction like a visit to your house with you right there now at 17 maybe a movie if they have proven they are responsible enough.

You have to go with your better judgement of what you have instilled into your child. Personally I feel you should tell your child that he/she is too young and it is cool for him/her to hang out with friends as a group. Kids tend to group up a little faster these day so you don't want to render your child and say no because that will lead to sneaking around, but suggest plenty of different options.

In my opinion, you should not. If anything, you should let them go on group dates, and even have him over for dinner or a bowling night. The things they do need to stay within their age range. It is okay for her to hang out with someone special, but to call it dating would be too much too soon.

well it depends....where are they going and what are they doing?...are you going with them or another adult.?..my daughters who were 11 and 12 at the time took a fancy to a very cute boy down the street...the boys Mom was nervous but in time they became good buddies and did everything together that I would consider dating...they invited each other to the fair, to ice skate, to watch each others soccers practices and games, they went to dinner with our family, they sledded, they biked endlessly, they played computer games, went to Christian rock concerts they hiked and skied and walked the dog together daily. They swam at the lake, they boated on a canoe...it was endless...and the other mom insisted her son was not allowed to date until he was 16....but he was doing all this at 13....it was sweet...it was innocent...no kissing or anything...they wished!...so I would say don't be to quick to say no...just figure out whats up...its good for boys and girls to be close friends when they are young...perhaps it will make it easier when they are older and dating means a little more....good luck

What is a date? Her idea of dating might be pretty harmless. I would let her "date" as long as she's supervised or with a group of friends and you know where they're going, etc.

There's nothing wrong with talking on the phone to them but just make sure that you set your ground rules so she wont over step her boundaries. my mom tried to stop me from dating so i had to sneak and date. Now days you cant stop a teen from doing what ever they wont to do because their going to find away to do it anyway.
