4 Ways to cope with boy crazy teen

During teenage we all go through many emotional and physical changes and we do some of the wired mistakes. Especially with girls, this comes common. When girl has a crush on a boy, she will write her name with his name in the end on the back of her notebook, etc, initially. Further, it can go to sending him instant text messages, recording love songs on his answering machine and so on. She may feel butterflies in her stomach, even when a boy is least interested. Here, you as a girl’s parents, may want to have discussion regarding communication etiquette with your child, especially when boys are involved. Read on to find how you can cope with this kind of situation.

1. Social norms

Gone are the days when girls did not call boys. Those were the days when the social norms where different. It was not considered good to have good friends form the opposite gender. Nowadays it is common to call boys and have friends of opposite gender. It is good for kids to have more freedom of choosing their friends. These days girls find it comfortable to have their best friend form the opposite sex.

2. Assertive attitude

Most of the parents are oblivious when their daughters feel obsessive about a boy. Usually parents do not even imagine, that their daughter can even be interested in boys. However, when they get to know the reality and when they find their daughters becoming aggressive, they are shocked. The teen girls have become more assertive than before. They are more likely to take an initiative to talk to a boy, call him frequently, plan dates and even may insist on having sex. The high school girls feels that being self confident will help them succeed in leadership roles in their group. However, if this attitude is not accepted by a romantic interest, they get confused. Nowadays, boys are not thrilled with the attention that girls give them. This is because, boys are not as matured as the girls of same age and also because, boys are not ready for to get involved in an emotional relationship. Most of them are not even ready for physical relationships and hence girls forget about them.

3. Wired communication

It is not bad to talk on phone with someone from the opposite gender, or with someone on the Internet. But it is important for a girl to know what should she be talking about. For many teens, instant messaging and emails have replaced telephonic conversations. The good thing about instant messaging is that it helps in continuing the relationship, even when their friends stay far away. It is comfortable way of keeping in touch with friends. It is essential for the teens to know that they should not be talking to the random people online.

4. Solution to your concerns

It is essential for the parents to know their children. This will help them sort out their kid’s dating issues. This does not mean that a girl needs balance in her life or she cannot talk to a boy. It does not even mean that you should be waiting for the boy to call you. However, being boy crazy is very obsessive about the boy. The parents can let their daughters read some novels or make her watch some soap operas. This will let her concentrate on other things and keep her busy. This will in turn help in decreasing the number of phone calls to their crushes or inventing different screen names every time, on the internet, just to talk anonymously to him.

But this does not mean that you, as a responsible parent, breach into her privacy. It is important for you to respect your daughter’s privacy while keeping the lines of communication always open. Your teen always needs a friendly parent who is always there to listen.
