[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that a kiss that she told me about isn't the big concern. But they are 'dating', and we fear there will be more down the road quite shortly. She has told us some things that have made our hair stand on end, as these are 12-13 year olds. Unfortunately for us, she isn't in the nerdy group. She is solidly in the more popular group. However, she is the first to have gone down this route [/quote]

OP, honestly, at this age, I would put a stop to it. There is no reason for a 12 year old girl to be "dating."  I would put her on a shorter leash, have a lot more family activities that she is required to participate in and step up her extra curriculars to limit her available time.

Do you know the boy's mother? I might step in there as well; tell her that you are not encouraging this and that you hope that she is not either.

I agree that "kissing," per se, is not big deal, but the problem is, if she's doing this at 12 you're really going to have your hands full when she's 15 or 16.[/quote]
