How Involved should we be
Hello everybody, First I am happy to report that this blog will cover not only teens but small children as well. We will post teen issues on Saturday nights, and we will post blogs for children on Wednesdays. Those are our high and lofty goals.

Now back to the pressing issue. Teen dating. I am surprised at how involved parents are in their children's llives. I was talking to some young people and found out that parents of twelve year olds are taking them on dates. Parents are dropping their tweens off at the movies so that they can meet little boyfriends and girlfriends. SMH
Why are parents doing this? These moments (between twelve and fourteen year olds) are parents last few moments of peace of mind. Soon parents will have to worry about mature teens dating and breaking up and all the problems that comes with teen dating. Why would anyone rush children into this complicated and scary stage of life.
I don't believe young people this age are mature enough to handle the pressures, strong feelings or the rejection that comes with this type of relationship.
What happened to children having crushes, sending little love notes across the room, and smiling shyly. I assume all of that is dead. Today it's rush, rush, rush, to the next stage of life. Let's let children be little children. They grow up all by themselves fast enough. What do you think?
Incidentally, would you take your older teens on dates?
