[quote=Anonymous]Hmmm... That feels a little young to me too (and I have a 12 yr old DD). I think I would sort of take a "talk about it" approach instead of a "ban" though. Mention you realize this novel has sexually explicit writing. Discuss that many romance novels do as well, and that many adults enjoy them. Discuss that I read some of those books when I was her age, but it those scenes sometimes felt "too much" or uncomfortable to read (which is true for me!). Discuss whether she may want to hold off until later for these types of books, when adult content may make more sense... by this point, she is probably talked out of reading another so perhaps I have surreptitiously met my goal! Though if indeed DD disagrees, then I would expect her to continue reading such books, and at that point I don't see much point in trying to "forbid" them given that this will just push her to read them on the DL...[/quote]
