[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 416025, member: 6546"] And this goes hand-in-hand with the lag in the "equal pay for equal work" movement... Women in this country have less respect for themselves than ever before. It does not even occur to them to cover up! Or, draw a line when it comes to how far they are willing to go with a casual acquaintence... Back to the original topic: If Duckie wants to "date"...make it a "double date" by going out with Mom and Dad. That's what we did... My son is 12. He has such a huge crush on a particular girl. I talked to the girl's Mom , and we have decided to teach our children a bit about "courtship" by letting them do things as friends and emphasizing getting to know one another. So far, it's all been very platonic...and a positive experience. I think you CAN use the tween years to teach appropriate behaviors. I think it's ESPECIALLY important to teach young men to have respect for young women as PEOPLE - not as sex-objects or "conquests". [/QUOTE]
