Instructions
Step 1
You cannot impose direct prohibitions on relationships between adolescents, in an emotional undergrowth this will only cause a reverse reaction, bouts of anger and irritation, at such moments adolescents are ready to take the most unbridled actions. Therefore, restrain your emotions, you can just talk, ask if you need help, tell your child that you are always there, open to communication and ready to give advice on any issue.
Step 2
Be sure to invite your child's crush to visit. Get to know, try to establish communication. You should not ask children for details of their relationship, plans for the future and give a lengthy lecture about responsibility, which will put the teenagers in an awkward position. Do not criticize, do not express to the teenager your negative opinion about the object of his love, the child will close in himself and will not bring up the topic of relationships in front of you.
Step 3
It is not necessary to protect the child from possible mistakes and shocks by all means. The teenager enters adulthood and must gain experience, whatever it may be. And first love is by definition tragic, so you should not read long lectures about how things can end sadly, and you, as a loving parent, are trying to save him from disappointment and pain. Understand that you won't be able to do it with all your will. Just be there when necessary, provide support, be able to listen to the child without unnecessary comments.
Step 4
In no case do not get into the relationship of adolescents, do not try to embroil them, even if you do not approve of the choice of your child. Your task is to get closer to the child, and not to push him away with such behavior. You can only watch and wait for the teenager to turn to you for practical advice and help. Sincerely sympathize and experience with your child, your participation, the best support for a teenager.
Step 5
If conflict situations arise between adolescents and the child does not find a place for himself, it can be tactfully explained that first love very rarely lasts a lifetime and this is only the beginning of his acquaintance with the opposite sex. In the future, a sea of new impressions, vivid experiences and interesting people await him. Life is a very long thing and it is impossible to predict what lies ahead of you.
