Romantic relationships are a major developmental milestone. They come with all the other changes going on during adolescence - physical, social and emotional. And they're linked to a teenager's growing interest in body image and looks, independence and privacy.

The idea that the teenager might have these kinds of feelings can sometimes be a bit confronting for his or her parents. But these feelings are leading your child towards a deeper capacity to care, share and develop intimate relationships.
