Should my daughter have a boyfriend at the age 11 and what if i know the boy?
Answer:
If you truly trust your daughter, and you know he is a good boy, allow it.
Set simple rules, like you can't stay out after 8.
Maybe even they always need to have a friend with them when they are going to the movies or to the mall, to make sure nothing happens. Imagine it, it isn't like they can make out when their friend is sitting right there, watching.
no
Not at age 11. Maybe a chaperoned date at 13.
Its fine.
That is way to young in my opinion!
Is she planning on getting married anytime soon? Starting a home and a family?
Of course not. Dating is for finding a mate.
Childhood is for perfecting friendships before even considering complex relationships like boyfriend and girlfriend.
She has no need or business wasting her developmental time and skills on a boyfriend. She'll grow up fast enough as it is.
well i did..but we weren't like kissing or went any were together...just let her...dont butt in to much though...if she wants to actuly go sumwere with him dont let her
My kids are not that old yet, but getting close. I would not let kids date at 11. Groups of friends boys and girls for movies, etc., but a solo guy in her life at 11 is just wrong in my eyes. Don't know how you are going to keep her from seeing him, and you shouldn't, if he's a good kid, but limit their alone time!
It's all in what YOU believe to be right in your heart. Personally I think that 11 is too young to be dating. I think a chaperoned date at 13 or 14 is okay.
oh shure and at the age 13 she can start to have sex! are you jocking no she is way to young .
it is okay for her to have boyfriend at 11 because it will quckly die off and she wont like him anymore! believe me i know! but be carful because she is going to come home crying if he breaks up with her
No. To what purpose would a boyfriend at that age benefit?
No. What's the point of dating at 11? There is none. Raise your daughter to focus on other things -- volunteering in the community or animals shelters, making crafts, model rocketry, etc.. Teach her that she should focus on bettering herself as a person and civic duty. As a child, it's the perfect time to instill these values. These should make her feel good about herself so she doesn't need to rely on a boy for this or for "raising her status" among her peers. Girls really need to build a sense of self value before they are old enough to date. The girls I know/knew who dated early held very different things in high regard, including their own dignity.
are you out of your mind, if you are asking this question maybe children aren't your cup of tea. so what if you know him, it doesn't matter. Both are way to imature to call each other "boyfriend/girlfriend" they can be friends but I would have an exetremely long chat withy our daughter and an even longer one with the boy and his parents!
She should not be focused on having a boyfriend. She should be focusing passing her classes. She is only in probably the six grade. I hope she wants him as a friend and not a boyfriend { companion} Good Luck to You...
look just ask your daughter if she likes him and if she saids ya then tell her she could start dating him when you decide it is the pproper time to do that and you could get a chance to now more about him to
Personally, I don't think so. A lot of people disagree and think it is harmless fun but dating at such a young age spoils something. When she gets serious about boys later in life, she will already have lost something.
yes . if you wood like to be grand mama by her 16 b day
HELL NO!! she is still a child she shouldn't be thinking about boys at all and it doesn't matter if you know the boy she is only 11!! you could have answer this on your own COMMON SENSE!
No. That is still just a baby. It doesnt matter if you know the boy or not. My parents let me go out to eat with them and bring my "boyfriend" along when I was 13 ( they knew him too) But In all reality they didnt dare let me out of their sites with a boyfriend until I was 16 and even then it was hard for my mom to say yes.
No. Early dating leads to early sex. It's a natural progression. It does not matter if you know the boy.
If there just friends sure. But anything more than that is way to young. I mean holding hands is even too much for them.
no. she may start to get ideas. one of them might begin to get curious and you know how one thing leads to another...
let the kid have a boyfriend it is not like they are going to be "getting freaky" or anything, or just give her a condom and send her one her way.
yes, this will give them practice for when they get older. just have boundries for her and make sure that she knows them. they shouldnt go on dates and be alone but hanging out in the living room, going to the movies with a parent, etc. should be okay.
WHATTTTTT!!!!!!!... you you nuts?? I cant believe you would have to ask that question. As a matter of fact, if you HAVE to ask that question then I would seriously have to question your ability as a parent. Eleven-year old just figured out how to tie their shoes and you want to know if they can date? Holy cow.
It depends if she's ready. My dad said I can date whenever I want because he can't tell me when i'm ready to date. My friend had a boyfriend when she was 9 but she was really really mature for a 9 year old. If you trust how you raised her then she'll know what she should and shouldn't do with him.
no, and don't encourage the behaviour. It's way too early. Let her be a kid.
No, she's too young. Full stop.
my daughter will date at the age she is ready before they date i will have to know the boy an meet his parents
