Parental Decision Making - Chapter 9; be sure to use your terminology and reasoning - just because you think you are right about a topic does not qualify the response as a critical thought. Be clear about why you are responding the way you are and what is the sphere of influence? Also, use the sentences as the header to your paragraph response.

Would you provide condoms to your son or daughter? Why or why not? If you said you would provide condoms, how exactly would you do it?

Imagine you have a boyfriend or girlfriend but are not yet sexually active. Should your parents give you condoms? Why or why not? If you had to get them

Would you allow your son to be alone with a girl in his room with the door shut? Your daughter, with a boy? Why or why not? Does it become appropriate at a certain age? What age? Is it “safe” for you to let your daughter or son close the door with a same-sex peer?

Imagine you are a teenager living at home and you have a boyfriend or girlfriend. Should your parents allow you to be alone with your friend in your bedroom?

If you discovered your son or daughter was having sex, would you tell the parent of the partner? Why or why not? Does it matter if your child is the boy or the girl?

If your parents found out you were having sex, would it be fair for your parents to tell the parents of your partner? Would you be horrified?
