Educate teens on healthy love early

“Talk to kids about what healthy relationships look like early. That includes things like independence. Communication.  Relationships should benefit both people. It’s hard with teens because of the immaturity. They can engage in relationships without the tools adults have. We have to let them make some mistakes. If the parent can go and talk to the other parent about the relationship, that’s good, but sometimes the other parent doesn’t want to hear it. In their eyes, their child is perfect. Have a plan of action to talk to kids about what a healthy relationship looks like. And don’t be a hypocrite. Be in a relationship that models your advice.”
