¿SABE USTED? Hablar con sus adolescentes sobre el noviazgo Si usted está pensando en dejar que su hijo/a adolescente tenga novio/a, comience con una conversación sobre sus expectativas, las de su hijo/a y las suyas. Platique además sobre cómo deben mantenerse los valores en cada rela-ción. Estas conversaciones armarán a su hijo/a con contro-les morales importantes y con información sobre su segu-ridad. Considere hablar sobre sus propias experiencias y decisiones. Hable sobre las malas decisiones y sus conse-cuencias.

St. Martha’s Coordinadora: Lupe Coronado (626) 324 - 3968

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles

DID YOU KNOW? Discussing dating with your teenager If you’re thinking about letting your teenager date, start by having a conversation about expectations – your teen’s, and yours – talk, too, about how values are to be upheld in every relationship. These conversations will arm your child with important moral checkpoints and safety infor-mation. Consider talking about your own experiences and choices. Talk about bad choices, and their consequences.
