As they move toward adulthood, teens progressively gain objectivity and become less emotional over time. However, they are not fully mature, either physically or emotionally, and can still be prone to moodiness and outbursts particularly when it comes to romantic concerns. As a parent, you may have no idea how to cope with a teenager broken heart or what to do to change your teen's outlook on life. You both can survive the episode by using some of these strategies for drawing your child's attention elsewhere.

To start, it may be important for you as the adult to realize that you may not soothe the situation by bringing up the teen's good fortune. Your son or daughter will not care at that point in time that he or she has a house, food, a phone, clothing, and perhaps even a car. These luxuries pale in comparison to the pain of having someone they wanted to love them ultimately reject them.

As the mom or dad, you may need to realize that the teen has been rejected, which can be difficult for you to deal with as well. However, while you can compartmentalize and objectify the situation, your son or daughter lacks that skill. All they know and can accept is that they have been rejected by the person at this point that they love the most.

Even your love as a mother or father might not be enough to heal the hurt. Most teens can accept that their moms and dads love them. However, in comparison to a romantic interest rejecting them, the parents' love is substandard, as hurtful as that might be as a parent to hear. Your affection cannot take precedence over the teenage love that they wanted to get in return.

Therefore, as a parent your primary choice is to diver their attention away and force them to concentrate on something else. If your teenager does not have a job, you might require him or her to get one. A job forces your child to keep busy and prevents him or her from languishing in emotional purgatory in the bedroom.

If the teen is too young to work outside of the home, he or she can work inside of the home. You might have plenty of work that can be done to turn the attention to a more pressing matter that will benefit the household. You can work the grief out of the situation and have tasks like cleaning, mowing, and other chores tackled accordingly.

If the jobs are done according to your satisfaction, you could treat the teen to a reward. Something like a new outfit or a day out at a fun resort can be a small consolation and another form of distraction. In time, your teen will forget about the loss of the love interest and focus on other things in life like school, friends, and possibly another person in which he or she is interested romantically.

The first romantic crisis in your teen's life does not have to be a disruptive event for the whole family. You can take the upper hand by using these approaches to the situation. You gain experience and can be ready for the next time that it happens.
