My son is 15, and just starting to "go out", Bowling, to the movies, bonfires, etc. He is hanging out with girls more, and I am constantly questioning every move he makes. Am I being over protective? He hasn’t done anything horrible, but I am so afraid of him screwing up his future..Should I be more trusting or continue being "that kind of mom?" Please help!
He needs to grow up and learn to make decisions for himself, but he’s a long way from being an adult. Trust is earned, not given. Set limits and rules that the both of you can live with and have consequences if they are broken. Keep communication open and honest so that he is willing to talk to you if he encounters difficult situations.
