Of course, you cannot define a healthy relationship without being in one. The basic things you’d like to tell them is that healthy relationships take time to be built and they are built on the foundation of support, understanding and trust.
Allow Them To Ask Some Questions
The media has crafted the ideology of love and thus, I’m pretty sure they have tons of questions concerning love. Give them some time to express themselves. To let you know of something that happened that they may need clarification.
Explain Basic Difference Between Love and A Crush
Remember your teenage has very few accurate information concerning love and may even be confusing a crush with love. Take some considerable amount of time differentiating what love, and a crush is. Make them understand that a crush is not love. That love takes time to grow.
