Chatting with Your Child about Their Classroom Crush

Welcome to Mom's Talk Q&A, a weekly column aimed at making life just a little bit easier for families in the North Shore.

Each week, we will pose a question many parents have likely asked themselves, like, how you get the kids to eat healthy foods or when is it appropriate to allow them to start using social media.

Our then joins forces to share their knowledge on the topic and you, the reader, can chime in with your two cents too. Just add your advice below in the comment section.

Now, this week's question:

How do you talk with your kids about their classroom crush? At what age is it appropriate to start dating? When should parents have that first conversation about sex? Should schools be teaching sex education? How much supervision do you think is appropriate?
