 Here's another Thrive Tip from Kaiser Permanente and Fox 12. Knowing or suspecting your child is in an unhealthy relationship can be frustrating and frightening. As a parent, experts say you play a critical role in helping your child develop healthy relationships. Well there are a lot of things that parents can do to support their teen. One of the biggest is just showing support and concern, letting them know that no one deserves to be abused and that it's not their fault. The relationship between the teen and the parent is the most important thing. We want to stay away from being overly negative all the time even if you're concerned and really trying to just share those concerns in an open way rather than directly try to control the teen because teens are their own people and they need to be able to come to those decisions by themselves. Even if you don't think your teen is dating, she says start the conversation. It's never too early to talk to your child about healthy relationships and dating violence.
