When Are Children Old Enough to ...

We ask our parents when they think the right age is for kids to step up to more mature things, like makeup, piercings, dating, etc.

It's such a subjective question: When is your child old enough to ...?

Well, old enough to, well, anything. Everyone has their own opinions. Some don't allow their kids to pierce their ears until they are in middle school–others have it done for them when they are babies. Some say, "no!" to any makeup until they're old enough to buy it themselves. What about you?

We're looking for discussion on what age is the right age for your kids to begin branching out on their own mature roads. Chime in in the comment box below.
