Children naturally seek out friends as they grow and experience the world around them. Before a child’s formal school years, they are often exposed to play groups, as well as neighbors, friends, and their relatives’ offspring.
As children mature and attend school, they form relationships with their peers. It is during this time that they are often exposed to cultural and media definitions of “girlfriend” and “boyfriend”. Even if they are only thinking of the other person as a friend, peer pressure and other influences affect their interactions. This is often a confusing time for children and parents alike. Questions often arise, such as “At what age should children start dating?” “Is my child truly interested in someone in particular, or are they trying to keep up with what their friends are doing?”
A student asks Sadhguru, “What is the right age to have a boyfriend or girlfriend?” Sadhguru sets the context on what a relationship means and gives perspective on sexuality and the time to get into a body-based relationship.
