What Age Should I Let My Kid Date?

As our kids grow older, the inevitable gets closer with every day - them being interested in the opposite sex and dating. People have different opinions on this, as do I with my clinical experience. In today's episode, I will go through the levels of dating, and what things are appropriate to do according to their age.

00:16 Three levels of dating

I like your "phases" instead of ages. I think that is more important to think about than just the age. so now when my kids do things, I think first about the stage, not the age

I was thinking you'd run it by us a few times til the tub was empty!

Well, adolescents are pretty headstrong and like mixing their neopolitan in the microwave...

should children dictate when their parents date and when you move in together if part of your reason for moving in together is also for financial support.. thank you btw for another great video.

I dont like that not at all. I like to be conservative. This is very personal. I know we all concern

I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old so my question is for future reference. How would I recommend my boys communicate, to a girl that may be interested, she is only a sample till he is wise enough to choose a suitable companion? Naturally young girls want to be the sole party of interest, I guess it doesn't matter the age.
