[quote=Anonymous]DD seems to have decided that she'll wait until her Sophomore year to date. She thinks that the transition to HS is enough to deal with during freshman year, and it's better to wait a little to date since everyone is going to be a bit more mature. As for the PP who said "What are we preparing them for if not to be in relationship?", we are preparing them for life, of which romantic relationships are a part, but not the whole. Education, career, and financial stability, are IMO, at least important, if not more. I don't think there is any harm in waiting to date, if the child does not feel ready, or is not interested. If they are interested, then it is important for parents to talk about physical and psychological entanglements, healthy relationships, boundaries, how breakups can affect other parts of their life, etc. before they start dating.[/quote]
