Consent is a legal term and, frankly, too low a bar for determining whether a person is ready for physical intimacy. In this one-minute video, Dr. Lisa Damour offers a simple yet powerful description of what healthy romance looks like.
You can show this Dear Teenagers video to your teen, watch it together, or use it for guidance on how to talk with your teen about consent. For more, adults can watch the Untangling Family Life on “Talking with 10to20s about Sex and Romance” here.
