What Is Love

Your teenager will go through relationships with people they are sure are "the one." What attracts people to each other is underlying energy signals of which we are not aware. What you don’t know you don’t know is what gets you into the state of being stuck. Have you ever noticed that some people get divorced then turn around and marry the first spouse all over again--only the second spouse has a different name and face?
People attract who they are. Adolescents are looking for themselves, for their identity. As their self-image changes and they grow in maturity they will attract different people who are at the same point at each corresponding level.

The key is to love oneself. Since you are going to attract the person you are then be certain you are who you want to be. Most important, be sure you love yourself. It is not possible to love another without true self-love.
Guide your child to ask the questions that guide him or her to uncovering their True Self. Self-image runs lives. Self-images are usually inaccurate. Self-discovery is the path to freedom and really honest unconditional love.
If there are conditions in the relationship--if he or she is your love of your life then no matter how that person acts or fails to act is accepted. One single behavior, not necessarily liked or condoned, is accepted rather than judged when love is present. In a relationship where a behavior or action shuts down the love feelings--well, there was no unconditional love in the first place. Love is always unconditional. Anything else is just emotions, feelings, not love at all.
Building Adolescent Self Esteem is as simple as loving your teen unconditionally and teaching them to love themselves unconditionally before they can love another that way. Armed with that knowledge they will be spared the pain of broken romances.
