[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 118677, member: 59"] That is the age where they really need a lot of supervision. I don;t mean you have to be in their faces all night but they should not be alone in the house without a parent and there should be a lot of interaction with you. When she comes over where do they go? Do you have a fmaily room or basement where they entertain? I made several trips down the basement when my difficult child was entertaining a male, just to make sure everythign was K. You can bring down chips or pretend you needed to get something. From my experience this was the worst age, the kids want to be alone and yet they are way too young to handle the situation. Put a curfew into effect and make sure it is honored. If they have mutual friends, encourage a geoup of friends come over to limit the one-on-one time. Make sure Dad is involved in the supervision. Nancy [/QUOTE]
