[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are probably too young and inexperienced to understand why these are red flags and that people can’t change. I would definitely discuss this with my kid. [/quote] This. I have brought up red flags, but not specifically mentioned the GF. Unless the kid is dumb, it will get him thinking. In the end you want HIM to notice the red flags. I think the biggest mistake parents are making is getting pushy. This will just result in defiance. [/quote] +1 There’s a really good book about this, “First Love” by Lisa Phillips - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/first-love-lisa-a-phillips/1145619215 You can get some of the main takeaways by reading her interviews. In general, it is helpful to be a nonjudgmental sounding board and ask questions “how do you feel about XYZ” or even “seems like you’ve done less XYZ while dating so-and-so; are you doing ok?” but overt pushiness almost always backfires.[/quote]
