I think it just happens naturally. Just make sure they are aware of any halachos as they become relevant to them (ie when yichud etc become applicable to them..)

From what age would you say boys and girls shouldn't play together. Both of the kids are 10 year olds and mainly have each other. They play outside unattended. Is it time to separate them? How do I give my child the message?


One of my DD's was very good friends with the neighbor's son next door, for a long time. I asked our (RW Lakewood) Rav who advised us that as long as their friendship is going on in open spaces (no closed doors) and is just a social enjoyment, playing board games, etc...I should allow it to fizzle out on it's own.

It did when she was around 12 or so.

I saw this question awhile ago in the Chinuch Roundtable (Yated weekly).

Most Chinuch Rabbonim said it dies out by itself.

But if it didn't stop by age 10, then the parents should intervene and make sure
their son has male friends to play with on weekends.

My family is from the frummest out there and it wasn’t an issue. My sister had a “boyfriend” til 10-11, it was adorable. He’d never look at her now.
