How Old Is Old Enough?
Manage episode 419590319 series 2430667
How do we know when our kids are old enough to walk home alone? Wear makeup? Get a phone? It definitely depends on the kid, your family situation, and the community where you live, but we think there are few ground rules—and some scaffolding it's a good idea to have in place.
Amy and Margaret discuss:
- why social media may be the thing to delay, more than the phone
- why it can be tricky to leave older siblings in charge of younger siblings even when they actually are old enough
- when kids are old enough to "date" (which depends on what the meaning of the word "date" is)
