don’t give them advice. just listen to them. don’t try to ‘fix’ things. just allow them to figure it out on their own.
I have teenager nephews who have had a few teenager relationships. The best thing was to let them process and come to their own conclusions. that way they figure out there are no ‘easy’ answers to any of this, but there are lessons to be learned.
Thanks friend. I was scared that I would do the ol’, “you know when I was your age…” I’ll definitely listen and acknowledge their feelings without judging or trying to correct them.
also, realize that shit’s crazy for kids these days. the level of bullshit kids have to deal with these days is pretty wild, and the bullying never stops thanks to smart phones. when i was a kid if you had issues or conflicts at school… they stopped once you left the building. Today it’s not like that.
