Young love can be adorable, beautiful and a bit dramatic. But when does that become too much or unhealthy? No one wants to see their kid's heart get broken.

Dating at a young age is a form of development. How they act in relationships comes from parents. Psychiatrist Dr. Anthony Ferraioli says there are three things that parents or caregivers should do in this situation.

The first is to show the child unconditional love and create a bond. Ferraioli says that needs to start as young as age 2. He says parents need to guide and teach them, and set boundaries, then you will gain emotional credibility.

He says parents must set the standard that they're the safe space. It's important kids don't try to get that unconditional love from peers, Ferraioli says.

"When it becomes truly unhealthy is when they begin to rely on those relationships for their very self-esteem, self-worth, their very sense of security," Ferraioli said. "You know, their sense of whether they are OK. That's where it's unhealthy and that's where I was talking about because those things should be and should have been formed with their parents to carry them through these bits of experimentation, if you will." 

Then there's social media. It tends to set the popular standard, but that isn't always good. Parents should try to monitor that as much as possible. 

It's never too late to build emotional credibility. Ferraioli says that's a step in every relationship we have.

Building this relationship, Ferraioli said, also helps kids figure out what a healthy relationship is, especially as a teenager. Ferraioli says kids really will follow their heart, as cliche as that sounds.
