4. Keep Your Daughter Occupied
Yes, teenage girls can get a little boy crazy. It’s the way of the world, and most of us have probably been there. But there’s more to growing up than just dating. Encourage your daughter to get involved with hobbies, clubs, sports and extracurricular activities.  There will be plenty of time of dating later in life.

5. Instill a Sense of Self-Worth
Insecurity is not uncommon with teens, but it’s up to you as a parent to make sure your daughter knows how important she is to you and to others in her life. Someone who values her own worth and potential is more likely to spend time with people who respect her as well. And if you are around people who respect you, then they will also support your decisions, even if you decide you’re not ready to have sex.
