Open, honest communication should be part of every healthy relationship. "I statements" help a person become aware of problematic behavior and generally forces the speaker to take responsibility for his or her own thoughts and feelings rather than attributing them—sometimes falsely or unfairly—to someone else.
"A Bug and a Wish" by Karen Scheuer is a great way to introduce “I statements” with children. After reading the book, practice “It bugs me when _______, I wish you would _______."
(Example: It bugs me when you call me names; I wish you would just be nice.)

Starting conversations — even if you don’t think your child is dating — is one of the most important steps you can take to help prevent dating violence.
