[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think our approach will be much like it was for screen time: more about managing the content than drawing bright lines. Do the dynamics seem healthy? What are they doing together, and alone or in groups? Etc. I think it’s hard to completely control things like dating once a kid hits the teens, so I’d rather focus on trying to be a helpful guide here to offer advice on how to interact in a relationship.

But to be 100% honest, my daughter’s gay and I’m less worried about dating for that reason. I would worry about hetero teen sex because I’ve seen the statistics on how many girls say their first sexual experience was a negative one. [b]Not that girls are perfect, but I feel like assault/rape/pressure/whatever is much less of a concern. [/quote][/b]

Definitely educate yourself on LGBTQ abusive relationships. While they are similar to hetero ones, they are special dynamics and things you should look out for to try to educate and protect your daughter[/quote]
