England lockdown - Teens meeting up with 1 friend

[Inastatus]

Are your teens going out to meet up with one other friend? If so, are you imposing any time limit/curfew on them? (I’m talking about under 18’s, not adults).

I heard my DS (14) chatting with his friends earlier coming up with a kind of rota of who is going out with who and when so they aren't all out together at the same time I was quite impressed at how mature and sensible that was. Hes been out on the skate park with 1 friend for about 2 hrs this afternoon, I've just heard him saying that friends X and Y are going out now for a bit.

Well done to your ds he sounds very sensible

bless that's very cute.

Personally I would not have a problem with my own kids meeting up outside (ideally one on one) with other children they were seeing at school. Mine are younger, so supervised anyway, but we bumped into several of their friends at the park yesterday.

We have been tier 3 so my dd wasn't allowed up until this week.
I have said she can meet her friend for a walk as long as she isn't out too late. She went out at 6ish and came back just after 8pm the other day.
It is too cold to stay out for hours.
