Teen Dating: 8 Tips for Peace of Mind
You might have thought the "terrible twos" were tough, but now your teenager wants to start dating. Navigating this new phase can be smoother if everyone understands the rules and expectations clearly.
As your child enters their teen years, it’s crucial to discuss what you consider the appropriate age for dating. By setting expectations early, you can hopefully reduce conflicts. While parents and teens often have different ideas about when to start dating, having open conversations early on can prevent anyone from feeling blindsided.
Here are some effective tips to ensure your teen stays safe while dating:
1. Set Clear Expectations: Clearly define what types of dates are allowed. If only group dates are permitted, ensure both your teen and their date understand this.
2. Establish a Curfew: Be specific about curfew times and the consequences if they return late. Make sure their date is aware too.
3. Ensure Safety: Your teen should never leave home without a cell phone and some money.
4. Promote Open Communication: Encourage your teen to contact you if they’re in trouble. Assure them that you’ll come to get them with no questions asked?"at least until you’re both safely home.
5. Discuss Sex and Consequences: It’s important to talk about sex and its consequences, including STDs and pregnancy. While it might be uncomfortable, as a parent, you need to address these issues openly.
6. Warn About Drinking and Drugs: Discuss the dangers of drinking or using drugs, especially in the context of dating. Make sure your teen understands the risks of impaired judgment.
7. Meet Their Date: Introduce yourself and have a polite conversation with their date. Remind them of your expectations regarding curfews and acceptable places.
8. Express Love and Trust: Let your teen know you love them and trust them, despite your worries. Assure them you’re there to listen whenever they need to talk.
As a parent, the changes can feel overwhelming, but teenage dating is just one of them. The best support you can offer is keeping communication lines open. Believe it or not, they often do listen.
