What steps should I take now that my teenager has begun dating?

Attempting to stop your teenager from having a romantic relationship could lead to a problematic dynamic between you two in the long run.

Rather than preventing, support your teen in establishing limits and encourage positive practices from the outset, such as when they are simply engaging in hand-holding or participating in group outings. This approach ensures they are ready for more private moments with a partner when the time comes. In this episode, we'll cover ways to assist your teenager in setting suitable boundaries in their dating life.
