Channeling rather than blocking
It is better to be sparse than to block it. Excessive control may have a far-reaching impact on children's parent-child relationship, interpersonal relationship and learning motivation. In children's adolescence, we should help them establish a healthy concept of mate selection and physiological self-awareness, learn to protect themselves and respect others.
Correct guidance
Correct guidance is the key. Excessive control may lead to children's rebellion. Adolescent children are curious about the opposite sex, so parents need to stand in the children's perspective and replace tough opposition with understanding and guidance. Otherwise, children may choose to hide, which makes us even more worried. Without proper guidance, we can't predict what choices children will make.
Share the concept of mate selection
Parents can share their views on mate selection with their children. Mom can talk about why she chose dad in the first place, and dad can also share the experience of pursuing mom. Don't take this as a taboo, our attitude will shape children's values about marriage. At the very least, we should not make them feel that falling in love is a disgraceful thing.
