Parents in Polokwane speak out on when it’s okay for children to start dating
With Valentine's Day approaching, Review approached a few parents to share their thoughts with us on this sensitive topic. This is what they had to say:
With Valentine’s day around the corner, love is in the air, but what is considered the appropriate age for children to start dating?
This age old question is often contemplated by most parents when their children broach the subject at the dinner table. According to some there is no magic age for young girls and boys to start start dating… it all depends on the maturity of the child in question. Other parents already have a set age in mind.
Khatoon Subban- “Some parents are extremely strict regarding dating, I think both parent and teen should be willing to talk about it and listen.”
Nazierah Cupido- “I think in High School it should be allowed, however it will be different and there is no one rule that is applicable to all.”
Tell us what age you think is appropriate for your children to start dating.
