Co-ed Sleepovers

I don’t think most kids think it’s wrong to flirt in a mosque environment..u only have to see them all checking each other out on Eid and other special events.. having been on some of those Islamic trips myself I think the parents were unbelievably naive thinking their kids wouldn’t be trying it on with the opposite sex, esp as most of them went to single-sex schools and had very little chance of interaction other than at these things.. not much u can do imo, apart from making sure they’re well supervised,** I do think being toooo strict and never allowing ur child to speak to the opposite sex tends to make a lot of them more curious about dating or sex and likely to rebel behind ur back..

I agree with Deeba, especially bold part. Yes you have to have your limits and teach your kids but, but you can not be too strict. Teach them right from wrong and trust them. I went to regular public school and some family friends went to islamic school growing up. I can tell you tons of crazy stories about how they went crazy when they got to college because they NEVER had any freedom to do anything! They went until high school in islamic school. When in UNI, it was like a kid in a candy store. Some girls went from a forced hijab to wearing very VERY revealing clothes…just trashy to a point…and then id see them in the masjid with their families all covered up etc…like odd. I also seen lots of other stuff like crazy partying/drinking/other extremes only to regret it later.
