Emotional maturity is one aspect, but with my teen I find that he isn't able to stay focused for very long. Meditation is very difficult for him and he insists on doing his own version of meditation which is much harder than it needs to be. In some things he won't listen to me. I'd say that kids and teens tend not to have a great attention span and this limits them in what they can do. But before there were public schools, children learned things at home from watching their parents, absorbing things in a sort of apprenticeship. I've given my boy, normally addressed as 'the mongrel', attunements to level 2 reiki and taught him how to treat his mom and grandma. He does quite well and they all enjoy the experience. It is more difficult for those young people who don't have parents who sympathize or can teach them some of the skills. Having a mentor is highly useful. Feedback and regular reality checks will keep them exploring more productive paths if they are open to listening.

Don't worry. It'll only seem kinky the first time.
