Just one thing about boys and girls doing things as a group. I think that it should be encouraged. (With parental supervision, but I think that is important no matter what) My daughter has a number of friends who are boys. They offer support and insight that no other girl can give. Encouraging friendships and giving kids room to develop these friendships are important steps in becoming an adult. The best marriages are those that have friendship as it's base. How are they supposed to know howto be friends with guys if they are not given the opportunity to do so?

On the other hand, "Double dating" at 12? Ugh, no.
