Lisa A. Phillips discusses her journey into understanding teen relationships, sparked by her daughter's dating life. She emphasizes the importance of parents engaging in discussions around love and relationships, as many teens desire more dialogue with their parents. Instead of judging, parents should validate their teens' feelings and experiences. Phillips advocates for parents to act as supportive figures, helping their children navigate the complexities of romance, heartbreak, and personal growth during these formative years.
Many of the young people I talked to say they wish their parents had talked to them more about love and relationships.
I've learned through writing my book that parents can learn alongside their child about love, heartache, and relationships while offering support.
