Don’t panic… yet 😎
The first rule: don’t shout “You’re too young!” and don’t grab your phone to check your text messages.
Teenage love is a stage of growing up, like acne and endless memes on the Internet.
It’s better to turn on the observer and psychologist at the same time: listen, observe, and, if necessary, gently guide. Humor is our best friend. If she comes and sighs “He doesn’t call me!”, you can answer: “It looks like it’s time to take mom’s phone to come up with a strategy!”
Jokes help relieve tension and make it clear that mom is on your side.
Remember: laughter is a shield against teenage drama. Conversations without morals. Forget about lectures like “Falling in love is bad!”
It’s better to discuss her feelings, ask how she feels, and share experiences (seasoning a little with dramatic stories from your youth).
This way she will understand: love is normal, and mom is a friend, not a policeman. Little tricks. You can make an “action plan” together for the first meeting or correspondence with the object of your affection - only in a humorous form.
Or watch a romantic movie together, commenting: “Yes, the boy is a little strange, but cute!” A daughter in love is a reason for a smile, a little trepidation, and a couple of jokes about teenage drama. 😏
The main thing is to be there, support and not turn this stage into a disaster. And let love grow safely, and not under a ban!
