Lessons on puppy love

[Bubu]

No not for me:)
But we do remember that magical moment, dont we?
those magical moments however is normally paired with heartaches.
while we dont want our children to experience the heartaches we also dont want to limit their experience. And to be honest as a parent I am still struggling as to what advice should I give my children so that they get the most of puppy love.

As a parent what advice would you give to your children?

I'm not in much of a position to say as I still experience flushes of teenage love in my late 30s. I don't feel right saying much, even though you asked for advice. I'd say the key is to treat it with a light touch, a very light touch. I wouldn't say anything unless asked. "You are free to do what you like, I'll be here if you need me." Feelings are intensely private at that age. When parents know too much it "spoils the magic." Also, warnings that girl or boy X is "bad" will only make them the forbidden fruit, and more attractive. IMHO the key is to make sure they don't get pregnant, and let the universe teach them.

My first advice would be to not call it puppy love to their face. There is nothing more hurtful than being told it is just a passing phase when it is the most serious thing to happen to them in their young lives.

My advice is don't give any. As soon as you try to quantify it and prepare for it, the sooner it will slip through their fingers, maybe to be missed completely or maybe they will think it has arrived early when it has not.

IMO, love is the only mistake we all need to make for ourselves, many times over for most of us, learning from other people's mistakes is great for everything except love. Experience is the hardest master as she gives the lesson after the test. Or to put it another way - Good judgement only comes from experience and experience only comes from bad judgement...x.... N

Maybe I dont know what advice to give because I am not suppose to give advice, just let them know I am there whenever needed as Daozen mentioned. Thanks guys advice would be; have fun, I'm here if you need me.
