What's a mom to do

My daughter asked to sleep with me last night since her dad is on this trip for the rest of the week. I usually decline since she talks in her sleep, but last night a felt a need to be close to her. Recently, it has become very clear to me that there is a big teen pregnancy problem in my town. I see it daily at the school I am working at. My daughter is going to be 11 this summer and already has boys calling on her. This really scares me. I can only hope that through our open line of communication and the values we have taught her that she can make smart choices and decisions when it comes to her own body. That doesn't mean I'm not going to put an alarm on her bedroom window and take heart the Rodney Atkins song, "Cleaning this gun, come on in boy"!
