As a mom of teen girls, there’s a big part of me that wants
to say, “stay away from boys until you’re 30!” But maybe a more realistic
approach is to teach them the right questions to ask before spending time with
a friend boy. (And yes, that wording is intentional.)
Worship — Who or what does he worship in the shrine of his heart?
Words — Do his words (spoken and written) build others up or tear them down?
Character — Who is he when no one else is looking?
Personality — Who is he around other people?
Interests — What kinds of things does he do to recharge?
Feelings — Do you feel better about yourself when he’s around?
Attraction — Is your attraction to him centered around something that will stay over time?

How does he treat his mother?
Knowledge – what is he feeding his mind with?
What do you think about these questions? Are there others you would add?
