While exploring dating is a cultural norm in middle school, MsTwixt does wish that the 1950's notion that having a boyfriend somehow validates a girl's worth would get with the times already.
Do you know if your tween "dates"? And if so, does s/he have a virtual or in-person relationship? Given that texting often figures in tween relationships of any kind, do you monitor your tween's texts? One tip: have all family members dock their phones at bedtime in a central location in your house - it will cut down tremendously on the late-night text sessions and mean more shut-eye for your kid. For other tips on developing a family technology policy, view our Women in Media interview here.

Dating is fun.
Courting someone through text is not a nice idea.
Nice tips! I will surely apply this to my two lovely daughters. I guess I haven't figured out yet that they started dating but if I do I will not scold them instead I will teach and guide them about the advantages and disadvantages of having a boyfriend at early stage.
When it comes to texting well I allow my kids to do that but not to the extend that they will sleep late.
