[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't let my DD start doing that until the end of 7th grade, and stressed NOT to get "the better deal" by upgrading to a bigger cup - to always get the small.  And I give her very little money.[/quote]

My son also started this type of thing in 7th.  We live in a very walkable neighborhood and they will walk over for ice cream at the gelato shop or Dunkins once a month or so, usually not gone very long. Just 1 or 2 other really nice kids that all live within blocks.  Sometimes they walk their dogs after school together.  There was a different BIG crowd in 6th grade that used to stay late after MS which isn’t close to our house and the stories that got back to me were that the group wasn’t so innocent.  I want comfortable with that in 6th at 11/12 years old.   Luckily, my kid’s sport practices weren’t conducive to the meet up and it is too far without a ride.

Op, I’d be worried about how often they were going for the calories alone—Frappuccino’s and all of those Starbucks snacks drinks are a big part of why young teens are so much heavier than their parents were at the same age.[/quote]
