Parents of teenagers are experienced enough to teach them most of things through their own experience and few can be learnt and pass them on to your teenagers.
Teens and dating is a normal thing and every teen is one way or the other is interested in dating while some teenagers are more aggressive and their interest in dating is greater than other teenagers. Whether a teen have low or high interest in dating, it’s normal in their adolescent life stage.
As compared to boys, teenage girls are more interested in dating and talking about it. Whether you are a parent of a teen boy or a teen girl you can discuss, share opinion and even advice them on dating.
Being a parent, you need some skills to advise or guide them on this before stepping into it. It’s time to show your parenting skills as it’s the most liked and discussed issue among adolescents.
Privacy is very important in teen’s life and so they keep most of things or issues confidential but parents don’t feel comfortable on this as they want to know what’s going around with their teens. In case of teen dating, being a parent, don’t jump up and bluntly inquire about this, rather approach empathetically. Your role is to teach and advise teen on how to date. If your teen is going for the first time on date and don’t want to discuss it with you, let it be, but when he or she returns home try to approach them with a manner you think won’t let them feel ashamed. Then open up and ask about how was the experience and share you views. This will open the discussion scene and teens feel comfortable to talk about the date when the next time he or she is going to it.
