Dear Teenagers

How You Deserve to be Treated

Healthy relationships require that we hold high standards for how we are treated and for how we treat others. In this two-minute Dear Teenagers video, Dr. Damour explains what we should expect of our relationships and the importance of holding the same standards in our romances that we do in our friendships. You can show this video to your teen, watch the video with them, or use it to guide conversations. For more, caregivers should check out the Untangling Family Life: How to Talk to Your Teens About Sex and Romance here.
