Journal Entry #7: A Day as a Parent Assigned 2/6/15

“A Day as a Parent”(Adapted from Prentice Hall HEALTH: Skills of Wellness)

Introduction: For this entry, you will pretend to be a parent/guardian and make decisions (using the decision-making model of course) a parent/guardian may have to make. For three scenarios of your choice, 1) use the decision-making model steps to come to a decision and justify why you made that decision. 2) Practice empathy by thinking about and appreciating how a parent/guardian might feel and respond to each scenario. Finally, 3) consider how you would communicate your decision to minimize potential conflict. For the purposes of this activity there are no right or wrong answers, but you must realistically justify your decision as a parent/guardian might.

Scenario One—Your 15-year-old daughter wants to get a tattoo.

Scenario Two—Your 17-year-old son went to a party and came home at 3am. His curfew for the party was 1am.

Scenario Three—Your 16-year-old daughter has a boyfriend you do not care for. She wants to invite him to your family’s cabin for the family outing this weekend.

Scenario Four—Your 14-year-old son wants to go see a rated-R movie with his friends and one of their moms. You have not seen the movie yourself and know little about it.

Scenario Five—Your 17-year-old son wants to get a part-time job after school. The job would have him getting home at 11pm most weeknights.

Scenario Six—Your 15-year-old son needs you to take him and his friends to football practice, but your 10 year old daughter needs your help with her homework. Your spouse is not home tonight to help with the shuttling of kids.

Scenario Seven—Your daughter is a volleyball powerhouse and earned her varsity letter as a Freshman, an accomplishment you are very proud of for your daughter’s sake! She wants to get her letterman jacket now, but money is tight and there’s the potential for lay-offs at the company you work for.

Scenario Eight—For summer break your children want to go to Disney World, your spouse, to Hawai’i and you want to go camping in Montana.

Scenario Nine—Your family dropped off some pet food at the Humane Society. Your young children see the animals and want to adopt a kitten, their first pet ever. You have a mild allergy to cats.

Scenario Ten—An extended family member has unexpectedly passed away. The funeral will be held in a different state during the week your teenage children will be taking their semester finals.
