Role: Parent
Behavior: Back talk
Child’s Age: 15-years-old
Key concept 1: Childs need for Freedom Freedom is the exercise of choice, self-direction, and responsibility (A. C. Juhasz, personal communication, January 29, 2016). Glasser listed Freedom as a psychological need in his Post-1985 research. As the parent, watching my 15-year-old child back talk is something that makes her challenge her freedom. She is having the freedom of speech and freedom of agency. She is wanting so badly to be independent and free to make her own life choices and decisions. Because of her strong desire to be free and independent, …show more content…
He wanted to stress the personal responsibly to make good choice and be good people (A. C. Juhasz, personal communication, January 29, 2016). As the parent, to my teenage daughter, who is terrible at back talking, is using every excuse in the book to get out of anything she doesn’t want to do. She gives an excuse after an excuse of why she did do this, or why she did do this. She isn’t giving excuses because she loves to give excuses, it is because she doesn’t want to get into trouble. Because she is most concerned about getting into trouble, I need to show her, by example, that if I do something wrong, I will take full responsibility for my actions. I will need to examine if she is looking at my actions as examples or not, to make sure this action works, but if she is paying attention to my attitude and taking full responsibility for my obligations and commitments, I think she will see that excuses don’t have to be made. I think that this is great that my child is aware of when she has done something wrong, or something that may have not been the best decision to make. However, I do not enjoy hearing every excuse she can think of, just to cover up her story, and make sure she doesn’t get into trouble. I don’t think it is fair to force a child to tell me everything and not letting her make her own …show more content…
This is knowing the right and wrong of something or someone. As the parent to my teenage daughter, I will want her to understand the value judgement of back talking. I feel that she might be acting this way because she doesn’t know the rightfulness and wrongfulness of her behavior. Therefore, I need to have her understand the judgement based principle on back talking. Because she may not be well educated on the value judgement of this principle, as a parent, I need to sit down and have a talk with her to let her know and understand the dangers she is doing to her personal emotions and the emotions of those she is back talking to. By having this talk with her I will be able to see her value judgements on back talking, and explain my value judgments on backing talking for her to see. I like that my daughter is knows basic principles of right and wrong and has her own perspective of valued judgments. However, I don’t think she is willing to see that other people have different values and opinion that we all need to
