EXPRESSIONS WITH LOVE (TOUGH LOVE) â 

Hello and happy Friday, readers! It's February, the month of love, and we are looking at expressions with the word LOVE. Today we are learning the expression TOUGH LOVE. 

Definition: Not showing a person kindness or not helping a person so that they will learn to solve their own problems. (This word is usually used when talking about parenting methods.)

Example 1: My daughter is struggling to complete her homework, but I'm not going to help her until she tries to do it herself. It's tough love. 

Example 2: During my lunch break, I went to a coffee shop and saw my son with his friends... at 11:30! I called the school and told them that he was skipping school. It's tough love, but he needs to learn. 

Example 3: My teenager dropped her phone and broke it and I am not going to buy her another. She will have to earn the money to buy a new one herself. Tough love!
