  2. Creative Dates

  3. You Are the Parent • Your daughter comes home from a date and is upset. When you ask her what is wrong, she explains that her date took her to a party where he got drunk. She was very frightened as he drove her home. How would that make you, as a parent, feel? • Your son comes home from a date and confides in you that his date seduced him. How would you feel? What would you do? • It’s 11:45 pm. Your daughter runs in the door crying. After you calm her down, she tells you that her date raped her. How would you feel? What would you do?

  4. You Are the Parent • Your daughter comes into your room to talk to you late one night and says: “Mom, Dad, I’ve been waiting for the right time to tell you this, but there just doesn’t seem to be a right time. I think I’m pregnant.” How would you feel? What would you do? • A car full of teens pulls up in front of your house and honks the horn for your son/daughter. Just as she/he is leaving the house, you see beer cans in the rear window of the car. What would you do? • Your son is really infatuated with a girl at school. Every time you have seen this girl she has been wearing revealing clothing. Does this concern you? What would you do?

Make an excuse. “I’m tired.” Change the subject. “Isn’t it time for dinner.” Turn the idea into a joke. “How could you suggest such a thing when you know I’m on a diet.” Act surprised. “You’ve got to be kidding!” Express your feelings for them. “Sorry, but I like you to much to do that.” Suggest a different plan. “Let’s go to my house and make a pizza.
