be careful allowing your kids to play romance too early - kids who "go out" or "date" - funny terms since they don't own a car - they are not practicing marriage - they are really practicing divorce
most of these relationships - even for many teens - don't last long - they are commitment without commitment - they are not learning to work through disagreements - hurt feelings - mistakes - instead they learn how to give up - walk away - find someone else
they are promising to be exclusive - until they feel differently - that's one major cause of divorce today - one spouse doesn't "feel" the same - about the marriage - their spouse - they start looking around - or looking for an out
the kids may have even given gifts that they are now asked to return - they have to divide everything - just like a divorce - even friends get caught in the middle - they have to take sides - some “couples” buy a pet together and take turns keeping it at their house - when they break up they have to decide who gets custody!
childhood shouldn’t be that deep - that involved - that painful - it is the foundation for the rest of their lives - let them learn what they need to at their present age - or their foundation won't be stable - strong - secure - there will be plenty of time for them to grow up - believe me - they will be teenagers and then adults before you are ready for them to be
