Hello students, in this question we have been given a condition where a mother of a teenage girl approaches you because you are working with the adolescent population as a psychologist.
00:18
So the teenage girl's mother is concerned about her daughter's sexual development.
00:30
So she wants to know how she should discuss this with her daughter.
00:36
What advice would you give this mother? so the advice would be to be open and receptive to their feelings and thoughts.
00:52
It is important to not just bombard our expectations on them.
01:01
Rather, we need to understand what they are feeling rather than telling them what they should feel.
01:09
So if you are more receptive to what they want or how they are feeling, it is likely that they will not engage in improper behavior.
01:27
Because these irrational behaviors are most often students who are not having any parent or any elder person to listen to their problems are more likely to engage in such activities.
01:50
So if you are someone who listens to and understands their feeling and the cause of their feeling, instead of judging them for how different their thought process is or their thinking is, you should be accepting of their thoughts.
02:11
Accepting their feelings, validating their feelings is necessary for them to share everything with you.
02:18
And once they share everything with you, you can understand if there is any threat of falling prey to some of the dangers that exist today in the society.

Specifically, because of the internet, girls are more prone to exposure in the world where anybody can take their advantage...
