child is spending too much time with a girlfriend and less time on school work. What information might the nurse offer these caregivers about the child's behavior?

B) The child has developed his own identity by now; being able to establish close relationships with girls is important preparation for all of his adult relationships. They should honor his need to be with or talk to his girlfriend as long as he has completed his schoolwork for the day.
