She is 10

Ask her if she's ready to marry him. She'll prolly look at you like you are stupid. Then go on to explain that dating is for deciding what you want in a husband, and finding the person you want to be with. At 10 she's not ready for that.
Personally, my kids won't date till 16. The first time they ask, I'll make sure they know I'm serious. I wasn't allowed to date till 16. I started dating their dad at that age. To me dating is like sex, its not a game young teens (or earlier) need to be involved in.

a million) the mummy and dad wont be there. it rather is the 1st element that shows that it rather isn't a good concept. They wont have any acceptable supervision. 2) you could have self assurance her, yet many babies take benefit of their discern's have confidence in them. Coming from a 17 twelve months old, your daughter does not sound like she's telling the very fact in any respect. i understand that fogeys prefer to have self assurance that their babies are angels. 3) you do no longer probably understand this 18 twelve months old brother. there is purely 7 years distinction between his age and your daughters, and how do you recognize that he would be there the entire time? It does not sound like he could be in charge adequate. 4) I agree along with your husband. that's not a good concept and you need to no longer enable it. possibly you need to offer having him sleep over your place so which you recognize that they are going to have proper supervision? 5) he's two years older than her and she or he's purely been courting him for 2 weeks. She does not understand him that properly and neither do you. how are you able to anticipate that she would be risk-free there? She must be taken good thing about. Oh and that i'm 17 and my mum nevertheless does not enable me to stay over at a boyfriend's domicile that i've got purely been seeing for 2 weeks (rather, I doubt she'd enable me in any respect). average, that's purely no longer a good subject for any youthful female to be in.

I would allow them to go out supervised and group dates just because they are still children and they do not realize how simple they are being. They will talk or go together for about a week then they will be on to the next crush. What you should do is teach her responsibility through chores and good grades. Talk to her about sex & dieeases too. My mom and dad scared the crap out of me and didn't allow me to date until I was about 16 years old alone. I went on supervised dates and group dates as a younger adult. Please be mindful that these children know about SEX they just don't let there parents know. Make sure you have that talk and explore all the good the bad and ugly. Peace and Blessings to you and your family.

I am only thirteen, so when you read this, you probably won't think very highly of what i am saying.
but atleast just give it a chance.
when i was in the 6th grade i got my first "boyfriend" ; a guy i had liked for the longest time.
i thought we would go to movies and the mall all the time, constantly hanging out.
i even thought i would get my first kiss.
turns out, we hung out ONCE outside of school. we hardly talked all summer. it was definetly not what i thought it would be.
the truth is, nothing really happens when you are ten or eleven.
so my advice would be... just tell her that its sweet that she has a boyfriend and soon enough , she'll realize that nothing is really happening between them and move on.
good luck(:

what kind of "dating" is a 10 year old really going to do? it's not like they can go anywhere. and i'm sure the "dating" wouldn't last all that long at this age anyway. i personally see this as a great time to have the birds and bees talk with her. find out what her idea of "dating" is before you blow it out of the water.

NO DATES at 10, 11, or 12!
Kids should not be dating in primary or junior high - my family rule was 16, and only if you prove yourself responsible [ do all chores, finish all homework, respect to parents, etc. ]

I'm willing to bet she didn't use the term date, but the term "go out." They don't go anywhere or do anything, they just say they are "together." In two weeks, it'll be someone else. Completely normal and completely harmless. Just explain that early relationships never amount to anything and that she should be prepared.

Simply tell her that she is not allowed to "date" until she is at least in junior high or high school (whatever your preferance is). You are her parent, so you must establish rules regarding dating, and stick with them.
Tell her that it's fine that she has boys for friends, but if they want to go out, that they will do it in a group, or with a chapperone.

open your mouth and say these words:
"you cannot date. Your too young"
pretty simple, dear. she may say they are "dating" meaning what we used to say as "going together" which really doesn't mean anything. It's normal. just don't let her see or talk to him outside of school.

tell her that its good to be friends take them on supervised dates....having the other parents aware of the situation is good help too
