3 Things To Teach Your Kids About Healthy Romantic Relationships

4:48 PM

While most parents recognize that they should be teaching their kids things like how to read, write, and be good citizens, many parents don’t realize just how important of a role they play in teaching their kids about healthy relationships, especially when it comes to romantic relationships.

But because every parent wants their child to find love and happiness in their life, it’s crucial that you show them the way to get to this point in the relationships they find themselves in throughout their life, even when they’re very young.

So to help your children in this way, here are three things to teach your kids about healthy romantic relationship.

Be Clear About What Constitutes A Healthy Relationship

For many parents, they wait to have any type of conversation about romantic relationships until it’s arguably too late and their child has already gotten some skewed ideas in their head. To combat this, it’s important that you start talking about what makes up a healthy relationship, both with their friends and with potential romantic partners, from a young age and in very clear terms.

For example, TalkWithYourKids.org shares that you can make it a point to remind your kids about the type of friendships or relationships that you want for them. In many cases, this will involve things like mutual respect, being comfortable around each other, and being able to stay close with your other friends and family members.

By putting these definitions around what makes a healthy relationship, you’ll be helping your kids recognize when a relationship their in either is or isn’t healthy.

Set A Good Example For Them

One of the best ways you can teach your kids anything is to lead by example. But in some situations, you as their parent might find yourself in a situation where you’re in an unhealthy relationship.

If this is ever the case for you, you should do what you can to get out of that relationship, including going through a divorce, as a way to model for your children what they should expect out of a healthy relationship and what to do if they aren’t in one. Additionally. Marcia Mangum Cronin, a contributor to HealthyWomen.org, shares that you can use examples from life or from the media to further illustrate what is or isn’t a healthy romantic relationship.

Teach Them How To Set Boundaries

An important aspect of creating healthy relationships in life is having correct boundaries. But because these things aren’t often innate in use, it can be helpful for your children if you teach them what boundaries are and how to set them.

According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, boundaries are set when people talk about what is or isn’t acceptable in their relationship. This can include all sorts of things, from how you’ll speak to each other to the physicality of the relationship. But by teaching your kids that it’s okay to talk about things like this with others, they’ll be better able to find themselves in healthy relationships in the future.

To help your children have healthy relationships throughout their life, consider using the tips mentioned above to teaching and modeling correct behavior to your kids.

Citronella Insect Repellent Lotion Review

10:02 AM

Some days I like rainy days, but most days I wish rain won't fall. Especially when I see my kids struggle when they go to school. They might get wet, and taking umbrella with them is such a big deal to my two boys.

Also, it is during this season when my kids can easily catch up viruses and airborne diseases. The cold weather makes it very easy for kids to catch flu, pneumonia, colds, and skin allergies. As parents, we do not want our kids to suffer any sickness, which we make sure we implement cleanliness inside and outside our homes. Also, for their bodies, they has to be with a strong immunity to protect themselves from any sickness.

The most common disease during rainy days is Dengue. Dengue is a viral disease carried by mosquito. Symptoms include severe joint and muscle pain, swollen lymph nodes, headache, fever, exhaustion, and rashes. The platelet count of the patient will go down and needed an immediate medical attention to save his life.

As a mom, I am too cautious in making sure my kids get all the protection I can provide. Since I cannot guarantee there is no mosquitos wherever they go, I make sure I always have insect repellent lotion or oil to protect my kids.

I got this local brand Citronella Insect Repellent Lotion by Angel Touch from an online shop in Facebook. This is locally manufactured in Cagayan De Oro. Since we need this lotion all year round, I stocked up a few bottles. I got a 60ml product for P110 pesos, a good deal in the market.

Claims, directions to use, and ingredients are indicated at the back.

It is very seldom for insect repellent lotions to have a nice scent kids won't complain about. My kids, specially Brad is very sensitive with smell of typically anything. But this lotion did not bother him at all, since it is different from the previous repellent products we used to buy.

The effectiveness of this product is very noticeable. I like how it stands on it's claims that it protects the skin from Dengue-carrying mosquito. This is such a great quality at an affordable price.

I highly recommend this lotion because of it's overall performance; packaging, protection, scent, and price.
