[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue for me (and I've been in this position) is that I never knew what was coming next, nor did my daughter. One day it was "you're so pretty", then it was "you're so hot". The line between puppy love and inappropriate became blurry. Kids are trying to be older much faster these days, and their expectations about relationships are very different. Kids say ILYSM to friends constantly so I could see you it would progress to this with a boy, but I think it's too much at that age.

Monitor the texts, tell you're daughter you're monitoring. Tell her to tell you if there is anything that makes her uncomfortable.Tell her to tell the boy that her mom looks st her phone.  Talk about relationships, respect and maturity. And that people do stuff to brag about it or seem older. It's sweet that they like each other but important not to go too far too soon with "I love you". I would also make sure to discuss the physical aspect of relationships because I have heard and seen the gossip among tweens- some are in a rush to have their first kiss. And don't think that a kiss can't happen at school[/quote]

this is a good post

I said I love you in 6th grade and to be honest, he tried to move way too fast. We quit talking and he spread rumors about me being "easy" even though that was the furthest thing from the truth. [/quote]
