Here’s this week’s column, responding to a piece in the Wall Street Journal by Sue Shellenbarger, on teens and dating. I think on this one, a lot of parents get bogged down in the details, and miss the big picture. I’m not saying what I offer is “foolproof” – just that it’s a principle that might offer some protection to my kids. I know, as a single mom, it’s protected me in my own relationships.
As always, thanks for stopping by.

When I saw “Teens better off without serious romantic relationships” ,I had to read it .I’m 54 yrs. old and raised 3 sons..long story.They turned out pretty good too! It was me who related to this story,you do not know how many times I want to shout from the roof tops to teens “do not get romantic in high school”!!!!Now I understand even younger today,they are “romantic”.I would like to write a book with a microscopic viewer so they can peer into what, having sex and attachments ,do to kids at an early age.It stays with you the rest of your life,emotionally and sometimes physically( if they get pregnant). I made some really bad choices in my life when it came to “romance” ,with helpful guides and better parenting ,things might have turned out a lot different.
I liked the story.I agree.
