between two possible romantic partners. Some people
believe that their significant other (their boyfriend,
girlfriend, husband, or wife) is their soul mate – this is a
poetic expression that means that two people are destined to
be together.
It’s possible for one person to have feelings for another
person – this expression is an indirect way to describe
romantic feelings – but if the other person doesn’t feel the
same way, then the feeling is not mutual. The other person
might say “he’s/she’s just not my type” – meaning that
they are interested in people of a different type of
personality/appearance. Ah, there’s nothing sadder than
unrequited love! (Love that is not returned)
Some people marry their childhood sweetheart or high
school/college sweetheart – this expression refers to a
boyfriend or girlfriend from your childhood, teenage, or
college years. Other couples are introduced by a mutual
friend – one friend that the two people have in common.
When the couple is ready to make a commitment, the man
proposes to the woman – he asks her to marry him. If the
marriage is good, then we say the couple is happily
married.
Unfortunately, not all love stories have a happy ending.
Sometimes a husband or wife has an affair – they have sex
with a different person. We can also say that they are
cheating on their husband/wife. The expression “have an
affair” is typically used only for married couples, and the
expression “cheating on” can be used for married couples or
for boyfriends/girlfriends.

Even if you are freaking out somewhat, choose your words

carefully. You want to avoid saying something you might
later regret. For instance, you should avoid labeling their
relationship in some way like calling it an "infatuation,"
"puppy love," or "young love."

To a tween, this budding relationship is significant. So, you

don't want to downplay it or inadvertently make fun of it
in some way.

You also should avoid teasing your tween or making

negative remarks about who they are dating. Other things to
avoid include:

Brushing off the dating relationship an unimportant

Allowing your tween to spend time one-on-one
unsupervised
Assuming that the relationship is not serious
Allowing too much freedom and not establishing ground
rules for safe dating
Forgetting to talk about the big issues like sexting, consent,
and even sex
Failing to discuss the risks of teen dating violence and
digital dating abuse
Neglecting to describe what healthy relationships look like
Pretending like the relationship doesn't exist or that your
tween is not growing up

What to Do When You Dislike Your Tween's Date

How to Handle Breakups

Although the majority of tween relationships won't last long,
some tween romances do have staying power. One study
found that 20% of 12- to 14-year-olds had a relationship
that lasted at least 11 months.

Given how fast tweens' lives are changing, 11 months is

certainly a significant period of time. That said, though,
relationships among tweens are likely to be more
superficial than later relationships and may not have
enough substance to last much longer.

Consequently, at some point you're going to have to know

how to help your tween navigate a breakup, especially
because their first experience with a broken heart can take
them by surprise. One minute they are on cloud nine
believing they found their soul mate and the next they find
themselves picking up the pieces of their broken heart.

If your child is dealing with a breakup, it's important that

you listen more than you speak and that you validate what
they're feeling.
Nothing's worse for a tween than experiencing heartache,
only to have a parent minimize their feelings or to tell them
that it wasn't a big deal. To them, this experience feels
monumental.

Instead, take this opportunity to teach them how to manage

these uncomfortable feelings in a healthy and responsible
way—especially when it comes to social media. Too many
times, tweens will turn to social media during a breakup to
share their feelings of anger, hurt, frustration, or sadness, all
of which can end up hurting them even more if kids use
these raw feelings to cyberbully or make fun of them.

Talk to them about healthy ways to cope with

disappointment, rejection, and pain like journaling, talking
with people they are close to, and doing things they enjoy.
And, if your tween was the one doing the breaking up, it's
equally as important that you be supportive.

Find ways to help your tween refocus their attention and not
dwell on the breakup. It's common for tweens get stuck in a
rut thinking about what went wrong and what they could
have done differently. While reflection is an important part
of breaking up, ruminating for long periods of time can
become unhealthy.

Talk to your tween about refocusing their energy in more

productive ways like spending a day doing something fun
with friends or taking up a new hobby.
And finally, be patient and avoid saying anything negative
about their former boyfriend or girlfriend. Some tweens will
move on pretty easily after a breakup, but some will need a
little more time to process what happened and for their
broken heart to mend. Be kind, caring, supportive, and
positive and your tween will get through it.

How to Help Your Child Get Over Heartache

A Word From Verywell
While it's normal to feel overwhelmed or even uncertain
about your tween dating, it's important not to allow these
feelings govern your response. Instead, consider your child's
maturity level and determine what they can handle and
when. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to
tween dating. So, ultimately you will need to decide what is
best given your child's temperament.

If you decide that you are OK with your tween dating in a

group setting, make sure you set some ground rules and
communicate those clearly and effectively. You also want to
be sure you are having regular conversations about safe and
responsible dating as well as all the factors involved in a
tween dating relationship like texting and social media use.
By educating your teen on the ins and outs of dating, you
will set them up for success in the future.

Parents are rarely concerned about peer pressure to engage

in sports or exercise, as these are typically seen as healthy
social behaviors. This is appropriate, as long as the exercise
or sport does not become an unhealthy way of coping,
excessive to the point of negatively affecting their health, or
dangerous (as in dangerous sports).

Parental Influence vs. Peer Pressure

Although parents worry about the influence of peers,
overall, parents also can have a strong influence on whether
children go on to develop addictive behaviors than peers do.

Addiction is a complex process, which is affected by many

different factors, so peer pressure alone is unlikely to cause
an addiction.
Rather than worrying about the effects of your children's
friendships, parents would do well to focus on creating a
positive, supportive home environment, free of addictive
behaviors and without access to alcohol or other drugs.
Role modeling good emotional self-regulation will also
reduce your child's risk of developing addictions. Self-
regulation involves the ability to control thoughts, emotions,
and behaviors in order to manage current behavior and
achieve long-term goals.

This will teach your child positive ways of solving problems

and coping with uncomfortable feelings, rather than trying
to escape into addictive behaviors and substances for
temporary, unpredictable relief from emotional or physical
pain.

Peer pressure to take these risks can be balanced by parents

ensuring that they set appropriate boundaries, provide
support, and help to avoid risks. A few examples:

Pick up your child from events where alcohol or drugs may

have been consumed.
Provide balanced, truthful information on issues such as
alcohol and drug use.
Stay involved in your child's life. Believe it or not, you are
one of their biggest influences and they listen when you
talk.
Urge the importance of thinking before doing. Teach teens
to ask themselves questions like: Could this harm me or
someone else? Will this put my health or safety at risk? Is it
legal? What are the long-term consequences for my health,
family, education, future?

Peer Pressure Beyond Childhood

Adolescents are particularly vulnerable to peer pressure
because they are at a stage of development when they are
separating more from their parents' influence, but have not
yet established their own values or understanding about
human relationships or the consequences of their behavior.

They are also typically striving for social acceptance and are
more willing to engage in behaviors against their better
judgment in order to be accepted.

However, adults can also be vulnerable to peer pressure.

Many adults drink too much because it is the only way they
can have a social life. They see others in a casino having a
big win and it encourages them to keep on gambling. They
look at their boss getting a promotion and put work before
family.

The bottom line: Being aware of, and carefully choosing

the influence of peers that will lead to healthy and happy
experiences is a lifelong process.
