Скачать или смотреть Love or Lockdown? Teen Dating Red Flags Every Parent Should Know

Teen dating. Situationships. Toxic relationships. Constant FaceTime. Shared passwords. Location tracking.

If you’re parenting a teenager and wondering what’s normal in modern dating — and what’s a red flag — this episode is for you.

Today’s teen relationships look very different than they did 20 years ago. Teens are navigating situationships, digital surveillance, emotional dependency, and control disguised as “care.” And many parents don’t know where the line is between healthy connection and unhealthy attachment.

In this episode of This Is NOW: Parenting Teens Today, we break down:

What a situationship really is

Signs of an unhealthy teen relationship

Early warning signs of teen dating abuse

Location sharing vs. digital control

Why constant FaceTime isn’t the same as intimacy

Isolation from friends as a red flag

How to teach teens consent and boundaries

How to talk to your teen about toxic relationships

What to do if your teen is being controlled

The rise in teen domestic violence

How to protect both daughters and sons

We also answer the question so many parents silently carry:

Did I fail if my teen allows themselves to be controlled?

Teen dating today involves hormones, smartphones, social media, and constant access. Without clear boundaries, what looks like love can quickly turn into emotional isolation, manipulation, or control.

Love doesn’t isolate.
Love doesn’t shrink your world.
And love doesn’t require a password.

Guests:

Dr. Linda Parker — CEO of Women in Distress of Broward County (domestic violence prevention and advocacy)

Theresa Kennedy — Chief Operating Officer at Kristi House (prevention education and services for youth impacted by abuse and trafficking)

Julie Khanna — Founder of Khanna Connections Public Relations and mom of three young adults
