Teens and heartbreak...The first Love and the first break up..

Well Something that has gone in this house recently again so I thought I would write a little bit about what we did to help ease the pain for our daughter...You see as your teens  grow up they will become interested in Boys/girls and will start with the whole I have a boy/girlfriend thing...I am not saying that they will jump into the whole serious side of dating but sooner or later they will...Michaela has just had a pretty serious one...Her first kiss not peck but kiss...This has devastated her the break up has been really hard on her....

Remember when you were young back to the teenage years and how hard living as a teen was...How hard that first break up was...the tears, The pain and the heartache...We can all relate..Most of us still remember our first loves name hehehe...I know I do LOL...

Okay here is some ideas for you...Girls are much different to boys I have had three of them go through the emotions of this now and I would have to say that it is much easier for a girl...Girls seem to want to chat with their friends about it and get support drom all of their friends and to throw themselves back into the friendship circle that having a boyfriend they may have rejected and we as women seem to take them back in and nurture them back into reality and help them feel better about themselves...Your daughter may want to talk about it so be there if she needs to but I do suggest that you just tell her that you are if she wants to talk...

Now boys are much different to girls as they are not as keen to share with their mates the heartache they are feeling...They have this misconception boys do that Boys dont cry...So they either seem to throw themselves into a sport or cry alone in there room or even start to flirt with other girls to try to forget...Boys are more likely to talk to their parents about the hurt they feel so make sure you tell them too that you are there if you need them...

As much as we want to just cuddle them and go around and have a go at the person who broke their heart DON'T...Tell your teens that you will be available to them anytime if they want to talk to you...Breaking up will help your child handle things later in life alot better...Give them their space let them grieve the loss of what they think is the love of their life...

We all thought we would never get past the first heartbreak from a boy/girl But we did and so will they...

Thanks for taking the time to read this...
Have a great day
Cheers
