How to show love to teenagers
Average rating:
It is so easy to overlook physical contact with growing children but it is vitally important to them. A big no-no is trying to show any physical affection in front of their friends. However at home it is extremely important that physical contact is kept up. When they leave for and return home from school, a hug and a kiss will be very welcome. Teenagers also become much more aware of their parents' relationship. And although seeing their parents kissing and hugging will cause them enormous embarrassment, it is actually very healthy for them to see adult affection.
