[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It all depends on your view of dating at young age. 
One thing is to like someone, and other is to have a boyfriend. It is normal that she is starting to notice boys in that way. and liking someone I would say is inevitable, But you, as her mom, would need to teach her the rules of your home, and what is age appropriate. 
For one family could be OK to date young, while for another family, the rule would be dating until they are serious and ready for marriage. 
Kids need guidance in every area, this is one of them, and a very important one. They learn a lot from their parents, we all just need to know what we would love for their future, and guide them through the path.
Now, in my opinion, the earlier they start, the more break ups they go through, and that is not good, because it trains them to break up when ever things are hard, and that unfortunately, trains through the many years and breakup for a divorce. 
I have two teen girls, and we always talk about everything, since they were young, and through the years, I have learned that the best teachable moments are not when we are scolding them, but when everyone is in a good mood, and in a friendly, loving environment.
This is a wonderful teachable moment for the rules you may want to see years from now. It is a good moment, even if it is scary as a mom.
