At some point, all of us must have experienced a breakup. It might be difficult to witness your adolescent experience the anguish and agony of their first breakup. Learn how to support teens going through breakups and when to seek professional assistance if their pain doesn’t subside.
Most relationships don’t survive forever; in fact, not all of them do. Teenagers frequently experience short-lived relationships as they experience puberty and learn more about their own needs, wants, and the flaws of other people. Teenagers can gain valuable lessons through relationships as well as breakups.
Your adolescent is probably perplexed and upset. They likely didn’t anticipate this and are confused about what transpired and why. They will be saddened by the loss of this period
of their lives that they loved. Megha Chopra, entrepreneur and poet, tells The Pioneer exclusively how parents can help their teen children to come out of that pain.
Give them space:
This one is challenging because as parents, all we truly want to do is learn how our children are feeling so we can help. But bear in mind that at this time, rescue is not our responsibility. Instead, parents must act as a support system, which frequently entails waiting until our kid is prepared to open up before intervening.
Say No to social media:
If only for a month. Encourage your child to unfriend their ex on social media, even if it’s just for a short while. I know this is difficult for teenagers. It is not an easy task to complete. However, you can recommend it and let them know that it’s a pretty effective approach to move on more quickly. If it helps, they can even inform their ex that they intend to try a no-contact with them.
Completing the gaps:
Finding the solutions to fill the gap left by the ex is a necessary step in moving on. Having fun, starting a new interest, going out with friends, or meeting new people. Encourage your teen to go outside and engage in physical activity with friends.
Pull your teen away from technology. Right now, they require genuine contacts in the outside world.
