my daughter is only 8 years old and she wants to go shopping with her friends by herself wut should i tell her

Answer 1

Well sweetie you are her mom and you know best for your own children, but if it were my daughter no way not that young. Good luck

Answer 2

HECK NO! She is only 8. There is a lot of sick people in America these days. Only in America you will see this happen. Don't do it because if something happens to her, they will hold YOU responsible for letting an 8 year old going shopping by herself. People will most definitely kidnap her or God knows what they would do to a small little girl like that. They would be thinking "oh, she is only a little girl, she won't do anything to stop us." Please don't let her until she is like, about 13 and up. I don't care if she screams or yells or says that she hates you and stuff don't let her go by herself without adult supervision. If you let her do that I don't know what to say.

Answer 3

NO. this is what i tell my daughter that barely 9 , that she is only 9 not 19 not 15 not even 13 so she needs to be a kid,and slow her role there will be many other shopping dates when she's a teenager.

Answer 4

Tell her the truth. Tell her that it is very dangerous for her and her friends to go shopping by themselves because there are people out there who do bad things to little girls and boys. Give her an alternative. Tell her that you would chaperone them as they go shopping. If not you, maybe an older sibling that can be trusted with the girls. (A sister, girl cousin, aunt, etc.) And they can walk ahead of you guys a little ways but not far enough if something happens, you aren't there to prevent it. Her and her friends are not mature enough to look around and discern whether or not this is safe, or that person looks like xyz, you know. so give them and alternative-someone HAS to be there with them.

Answer 5

I hope your joking! If you are not then you should never had children, do you watch television or read the paper? Somewhere in this country some sick minded pervert abducts our children every day, and most cases the child is without adult supervision. If you are serious may God keep an extra eye out for your children.

Answer 6

Tell her that there are people who want to hurt little girls in the world, and its something we always have to be careful of (we being yourself and your daughter). If she feels like you are together, protecting each other she might be able to grasp the reason why this is so completely unsafe.
Offer to take her shopping, and think of ways the girls could feel like they are being more independent. Let them check out in line themselves, with your wary eye over them of course. Let them sit at a table altogether adjacent to you in the food court, let them order something that they want, etc.

Answer 7

just say honey ur a little to young be shopping by ur self and u will need to go with an adult and if that don`t work tell her shes not going shopping at all trust me u got to be ruff yet understanding good luck

Answer 8

If you flat out tell her "NO" that will get her mad. She may get feelings that you dont trust ehr or like her if you know what i mean. If you are not comfortable than she eed to know she cant. Talk to the other girls parents. Or else supervise the trip, u dont have to be with them , but keep track of them, go in the next store over or something, give her your husbands cell phone. I hope this helps in your sticky situation. Good luck!

Answer 9

I would tell her no that she needs a parent with her at the mall tell she is older. I would say 12 is an ok age to allow them to go to the mall with you at a different part of the mall. I wasnt aloud to go to the mall completly alone tell i was 16 years old.

Answer 10

Tell her that when she has a job she can go to the mall with her friends without adult supervision, and that it should mostly be her money that she earned.
