Open-mindedness exercise2

The second exercise involves thinking about a consistent argument that crops/cropped up with my children and making three points from their side of the argument.
This is a bit tricky because my girls have been left home for a couple of years.
I suppose one argument that always cropped up was being home late. So here goes.

1. Allowing your sixteen-year-old daughter to come in at the time she chooses shows that as a parent you are trusting and supportive of your child.


2. Perhaps she is less likely to make an attempt at behaviour that runs outside the realms of what we consider ‘normal’ (whatever that is).


3. Allowing boyfriends to stay over means she is more likely to take precautions when having sex.
