When children enter adolescence, it becomes difficult to talk to them. However, this is necessary.
However, they also need care and support. And also a discussion of some topics that may seem awkward to you.
1. How to reject someone who is not right
Teenagers are good at mating and getting attached. But to leave when it is clear that a person does not fit - not everyone knows how. Parents should explain that the selection of the perfect match involves some selection, and within which those who do not fit at all are eliminated. And most importantly, there is nothing wrong with that.
You just need to get to know each other better before planning an old age together.2. How to be happy without a relationship
You may be surprised yourself, but relationships with other people are not necessarily a companion to happiness. A person may not have a romantic or other relationship at all - it's only his choice.
3. People do not change
It is very difficult to realize this in adolescence, when it seems that the world is changing every second. But if you are betrayed, insulted, physically offended, this will happen again, even if the offender is very, very sorry.
4. Find out who is his enemy
It is important to draw the teen's attention to how his friends or loved one deal with their "enemies." It is possible that tomorrow your child will become this enemy. So it is useful for him to know what awaits him in this case.
5. Getting out of a relationship is not a weakness.
Relationship is important for teens - it elevates them in the eyes of their peers. However, this relationship can be toxic. And then getting out of them is clearly a better option than continuing.
There is no need to be afraid of loneliness, it is definitely not for life. But continuing a relationship with someone with whom you clearly have different goals and ideas about happiness is very harmful.
