Parents look forward to the days when their children will be grown, married and beginning their own families. They see life as grandparents as a wonderful way to progress, but few of them are quite so enamored with those thoughts when their children are teens and dating. Their perspective on life is one of concern, and they worry their child will end up with the wrong person. They play scenarios in their minds that show them how everything will fall apart, and they often bring their objections up for discussion.
For those who are beginning to experience their adolescent children looking for dates, it is best to lay down a few ground rules. Insisting on a certain level of behavior will help guide their child in the right direction, and it could keep them from late nights of worrying excessively. While their young dater might not appreciate it at the time, those rules will help them find someone who is responsible and caring.
