Dating is obviously one of the most important rites of passage for an adolescent. You probably recall your own first date, and all the excitement and anxiety that came with it. You might also remember wanting to date sooner than you were allowed, but it's important to remember that when it comes to your child, her interests and desires could be very different than they were for you at that age.
That said, it's helpful for parents to talk to their children about dating in the pre-teen years. If you have rules about when your child will be allowed to start dating, now is the time to share them. These early conversations could also focus on crushes and the basics of sex and attraction.
