How to Handle Concerns About Your Daughter's Boyfriend
What should you do if you worry your daughter's boyfriend might not be a positive influence? It's a common question for concerned parents. I count myself lucky?"my daughter dated only a few, and they were wonderful young men. She's now happily married to a remarkable former military man.
The worst approach is to forbid your daughter from seeing someone. Telling a teenager 'no' often challenges their sense of independence. It's vital to tread carefully.
If you're concerned, consider these strategies:
1. Set Clear Dating Rules: Instead of outright bans, ensure your daughter understands the dating rules. It's best to have these in place from the start, so she doesn’t feel targeted. Rules can cover when and where she can see her boyfriend, curfews, and time limits for phone and computer use. While important, be cautious not to be overly strict, as it might lead to rebellion.
2. Get to Know Her Boyfriend: Spend some time with him, being sincerely polite and friendly. This approach makes it harder for him to convince your daughter that you're being unfair. A friendly demeanor can prevent classic manipulations where a boyfriend encourages disobedience by painting parents as the 'bad guys.'
3. Discuss Household Rules with Both: Ensure the boyfriend is present when you explain household rules. This transparency makes it difficult for him to feign ignorance. Keep the conversation casual and include both your daughter and her boyfriend, even if it embarrasses her.
Hopefully, the boyfriend isn’t as concerning as he seems. Teenagers often act tougher than they are and enjoy testing boundaries. Showing that manipulation won't work and addressing issues directly could lead him to behave or move on to someone with less parental involvement.
Parents often worry about the influence of their children's social circles, especially with a potentially troublesome boyfriend. How you handle such situations can prevent defiance and reinforce positive behavior. Stand firm, but approach with care.
