Parent Discussion Guide on

Youth Healthy Relationships

A national study of adolescent dating relationships and parenting determined that “positive parenting” contributed significantly to adolescents being less tolerant of unhealthy and abusive relationship behaviors. As teens and young adults learn how to navigate relationships, parents and influencers (ex. teachers, coaches, and aunts/uncles) — like you — play a pivotal role in modeling healthy relationship behavior. Youth want and crave our connection and support. While youth may be an open book to their friends, they may seem disengaged or uninterested in a conversation with you. Have you ever asked your child, “How are things going?” or “Tell me about your day?,” only to be met with the answer of “It was fine” while they stared down at their phone? This guide will provide information and resources for having meaningful conversations with the youth in your life and empowering them to have relationships that are healthy, respectful, and free from abuse.
