Parents Guide to Relationships

Your child, who you have always loved unconditionally, now loves or thinks they love, someone else. This can be difficult for most parents/ carers. Especially for their first relationship, you are both entering a new world. Relationships are complicated for anyone but for teenagers, everything is magnified; the love, the lust, and the emotions are all intensified by hormones and their changing body. Try to remember this when you question their behaviour or decisions. Teenage relationships tend to be shorter and more intense, in both relationship and break up.
