Dear Care and Feeding: My daughter and I have a very close relationship, in that she tells both me and my wife everything about her life.
My 13-year-old daughter came back from a sleepaway camp she was at for the past week. She’s always been a rule-follower, a goody-two-shoes, shy, and a bookworm. The camp she was at was a nature exploration/science camp, so most of the other kids were also nature nerds. She’s also been having a lot of issues with her body image recently. She feels like she’s really ugly. My wife and I are very worried and are waiting for her to be seen by a mental health professional.
Your daughter is in a vulnerable headspace right now, and 13 is on the young side of dating for a lot of parents’ comfort. But I am not sure I would put the kibosh on it. It would be one thing if you had a family agreement that nobody is allowed to date until they are 15 years old, or something similar; in that case, I would totally support sticking to your guns and not allowing them to meet. But it doesn’t sound like that’s the case here.
