When Is The Right Time To Allow My Kids To Go On A Date

Every teenager will come to a point in their lives that they will admire someone of the opposite sex (although for some, of the same sex) and for most parents it is this time that they will begin to worry and have fears although they already knew where this would lead to.

First, admiration, crushes, until asking permission to go on a date.

When is the right time to allow your kids to go on a date?  At what age?

Well, I'd probably say it depends on every parent because when we allow our children to go on a date, first we are to evaluate whether they are responsible enough to get into and handle a relationship.  We are at the same time conveying a message for them that we trust them when we could see that they are responsible enough.

It is also part of their growing up and to learn how to socialize with other people, especially of the opposite sex.  We as parents though, could set  some limitations and rules when our kids are ready to go on a date.  Until what time, for example, that they'd be allowed.  Should they go with a chaperon or on better still on a group date?  And most especially, what are their plans for their date? These things and many others are to be carefully agreed upon.  But in the long run, our children still need our guidance as they grow up and especially in their relationship with their peers.
