Don't - Treat her like a child. These all may seem like simple things but teen moms are a bit more sensitive to these issues simply because it is automatically assumed that they need someone to do everything for them, or that they can't handle motherhood by themselves. While it may be true that teen moms do need assistance, they need support more than anything. They need to be told that they are believed in, supported and cared for. They don't need someone speaking down to them.
Support comes in more forms than giving advice and offering physical assistance.
Just being around to offer a shoulder or to listen when the new mom needs to talk can mean more than anything else. Often times, teen moms don't want the regular course of support so just trying to be available to them still gives them the freedom to ask for help without feeling as if they are being hounded or treated any different. Another means of support is the kind one can give even if they don't personally know any teen moms. This would include giving used baby clothing or furniture to local teen mother support agencies, clipping coupons and sharing with the new moms through teen mom mailing support groups, and even volunteering your services once in a while to teen mom hotline services. Every mom needs support but teen moms often need just a little more.
