How weak should my kid be to date?

she's 9. And she really likes this guy. The kid likes her back. She's going into 4th echelon.
you could let them, but at their age, they should be in a publcp lace wit you around not eavesdrop but making sure the're safe.
how old is the kid that likes her?

i would speak dates - but accompanied by mom - like to the cinema possibly like 'kid' dates - as long as your there next to them they're fine. I would say no making out or anything like that - she's too young to be sexualised within that way but holding hands is probably ok.

Me personally - i suppose a child should be 16 before he/she dates so they can concentrate on their school work - and by this i connote proper dates like going out on their own with their boyfriend.
I deff. agree with what Stardust said. Little dates like going to the movies, or activity works or dave and busters, fun kids activities with a parent should be fine, but only if a parent is present.
my daughter is 14 now but she started "dating" in 1st grade at this age and up until more or less 10 its puppy love but when they turn about 12 they want to go out on real date,when my daughter was 12 i took her and her boyfriend and her other friend to the movies and we had a great time.i dont go to the movies near them anymore but her boyfriends still come over and i meet them and we have a good giggle!
I one-sidedly, would talk to the boy's parent. I remember "dating" in fourth grade. But that be only an in school relationship. I enjoy a 14 month old at home.
Only you know if your child is grown-up enough to be in a relationship. However, I would say 9 is typically too young at heart. I think high school is an appropriate time to start dating.
Answers:    It won't be a real date; don't worry yourself over it. When I was surrounded by 4th grade, I had a boyfriend. We hugged eachother and had profusely of playdates, but that was pretty much it. Oh, there was the occasional peck on the orifice, but it was platonic, the same kind you administer your little girl to say goodnight, because we were too young to know in attendance was anything else.

I've taken several courses in child development and psychology, and I can guarantee that she's not thinking of him sexually surrounded by any way. At her age, she's partway through the realization of the potential for romance between one gender and the other as promoted by society. She and her 'boyfriend' are pulling off a mimicry, mirroring what they see elder people do, when all they really feel is friendship or an lush appreciation of the others features.

Let her. Like I said, it won't be a real date.
16. And then only contained by a group setting. Isn't the point of dating to find the person that you want to marry?
Dating at 9 years older is a no-no. However, inviting kids to your house under your supervision is acceptable and they could have a virtuous time playing games, dancing, video games, etc. in a safe environment. The snacks are free, too. Serious dating should not start until the immature adult becomes 16 years old. Sit down near your teen prior to dating and talk about the dangers of unprotected sex, drinking, smoking, etc., and also donate them some rules to follow or ground them.
My children cannot date until they are 16. No if's or but's about it here.
