16 Year Old Son - Dating and Girlfriends ?!!

My 16 year old son has never had a girlfriend or dated anyone.....that is until today. He met a girl who is one year older than him at a Christian summer camp a few weeks ago. They have been 'friends' for the past 17 days, texting, calling and spending time together. They both like each other a lot, but this is all so new to my son (this girl supposedly has had 4-5 previous boyfriends). My son was not allowed to 'date' until he was at least 16, but I was hoping all this dating stuff would happen later, this is all so sudden. He...

Curfew for My 15 Year Old Daughter?

My 15 year old daughter will turn 16 next month. Some of her friends drive, so she can now stay out late if she wants to and we allow her to. So far we haven't had any real problems with her, and she is a good kid. However, she's not a perfect kid either! So here's where I need advice. Last night she came home from church with 2 girlfriends after spending the evening watching children while one of the mothers led a meeting for the childrens' parents. One of her friends is 15 and the other is 17. The 17 year old is a senior in high school,...

17 Year Old Wanting to Spend Way Too Much Time with His Girlfriend!

I need some advice before I do something drastic to hurt my relationship with my 17 year old son! He has had a girlfriend for 6 months now (he is 17, she is 15) and they spend way too much time together. I do know her parents, and am surprised how much time they allow the kids to spend together. They are great parents, but my son is at her house all the time. I want him home more. I told him he has to be home 2 nights a week, but he always makes sure those nights fall when it is impossible for them to be together. I feel like she...

Unmotivated 16 Year Old

My 16 year old daughter is very smart, but is very unmotivated to complete her school work, therefor seems to be running a C average in almost everything. I speak to her teachers who say she 'drifts off' in class. She often gets zeros for homework she 'does not feel like doing'. I realize a C average is not the end of the world, but I know she is capable of more and would like her to be able to go to college. I have taken away privliges, offered incentives, etc, and she says she will do better, and may for a very short time, then its back...

Kissing My Son

Is it awkward to be kissing my 10 year old son? I dropped him off at school after a dr's appt and he kissed me goodbye. We did a quick peck on the lips. The look I got from the girls working in the office was like they were mortified that I still kiss my son goodbye. He is a very affectionate child and very sweet. I think it is great that he still wants to hug and kiss me goodbye, but it obviously makes others uncomfortable. What do you think? Do you still kiss your children?
