Teaching young kids about dating. I simply said it was something he will do when he is older, and it was just a word for going to dinner or a movie with someone you like. At his age you can add information about the purpose of dating and a little more about why teens and adults date.
Young kids have a lot of questions about dating, especially when they first hear about it.
I've listed some common questions younger children often ask about dating and some age-appropriate responses that will help your son learn about dating in a healthy way. Dating is something that teenagers and adults do when they really like someone. When you like someone, you want to spend some time with them and get to know them better. Spending time with your friends is sort of like dating, but we don't call it that until you are older. Some things you might do on a date are, roller blading, watching a movie, going shopping, going to a concert, eating together, walking, working out or playing sports.
