Should seven-year-olds have a boyfriend?
Should eight and nine-year-olds be dating?
Is it innocent role-playing or something we should be concerned about?
It’s not a new issue but it is one that has been cropping up at the school my children attend.
The usual games of he’s-my-boyfriend seem to have morphed into dating, with children – and that’s what they are children – going out on evening dates as couples.
I wasn’t alone in being shocked.
