I feel sorry.According to my point of view it is not good for your child for going dating at the very small age,It's their high time to take care of them and involved them in their studies.So that they will not spoil their life.

Teen dating as in with a boyfriend? I have a fourteen year old daughter and whenever she would ask for permission to go out with her three best friends, two boys and a girl, I would go out with them. Although they only are malling and sometimes watching a movie, I am still there. I think I can't allow it yet.

I think this is a good idea. My kids are not in the teen stage yet but will be soon and I think my approach will be to take them out to hang out just like you explained until they have reached an age where they can drive and go out on thier own. Till then I will be thier escort. I dont want them taking rides from other kids that dont know what they are doing and I think I will try to make sure that they dont get thier license until I am sure that they are ready to drive and not the DMV.

Hi, I am a mother of one little boy. Talking about dating of my son,it is still long way to go. But of course, once he has grown up and has become a man,after finish his high school and if he gets to know a good girl from a good family background, I will let him date the girl. It is pretty normal for everyone to go through dating process,then get married and settle down as a new family. So I don't think I will restrict my son from dating in future,unless, the girl is not from a good family background. I believer my son also need to have his own privacy and freedom in making friends. As a mother of him, I will let him have the freedom,but same time , I will always at his side to monitor him.

Yes she should, being too strict will harm your relationship and in the end the one who will lose will be the parent. The child will grow up and leave the home house and if he didn't like the treatment at home he will act the same, he will treat his parents "without gloves", if you know what I mean.

For my point of view, we should not let our child to go for dating.Every body knows that now a days most of teen age became spoiled. You as a mother you should give advise to you child and don't let your child to go. Some time we get blame from outsider saying that your son or daughter were there at town with someone.So better we should guided our child and not let them to go.

I think from my opinion being a mother you should not allow your children to go for dating.As they being under teen age you should take good care of them because now a day we can see most of the teen age children getting spoiled by making boyfriend or girlfriend.They take more interest in dating comparing to their studies.Likewise it will become their habits and if you don't stop your children from going to dating from beginning itself then later on you will face more difficulties in controlling them.
