Imagine your child makes a big mistake and confesses to you. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I will try to understand him, and together we will find a solution. First, I will scold him, but then I will explain to him how to learn from it. I will feel anger, but later I will realize that it is an opportunity for teaching. I will set clear consequences so that they understand that mistakes have consequences. I would rather ignore it to avoid conflict.

Your child tells you that they want to try something completely new and unexpected. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I will support him and help him think through all the possibilities. I will give him freedom, but I will warn him about the possible risks. I will ask why he is drawn to it and try to understand his motivation. At first, I will be skeptical, but I will give him the space to prove that he means it seriously. I will try to convince him that it is better to stick to proven paths.

What is your approach to rules and discipline in the family?

Select an answer:

Rules are important, but we can always adapt them together. Adhering to the rules is key, but I am always willing to listen to arguments. I prefer to rely on trust and open communication rather than strict rules. Discipline is fundamental; without it, chaos would reign in the family. Rules are fine, but I am not consistent in enforcing them.

Imagine that your child gets into a conflict with a teacher. How would you resolve it?

Select an answer:

First, I will listen to both sides and only then will I make a conclusion. I will support my child, but I will also explain the teacher's perspective. I will tell him that he needs to learn to manage on his own, but I am here if he needs help. I will go to resolve the situation with the teacher in person immediately. I'll leave it as it is; over time, it will somehow resolve itself.

How would you react if your child was going through a tough time but didn’t want to talk about it?

Select an answer:

I will be there for him and give him time to open up when he is ready. I will find a way to gently show him that I am here for him. I will try to help him through joint activities and indirect conversations. I will insist that he confides in me – after all, I am his parent. I'll let him figure it out on his own; after all, everyone has to go through their own problems.

Your child tells you that they have a completely different opinion than you on an important life issue. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I will try to understand his perspective and discuss without pressure. I will support him in creating his own opinions, even if I disagree with them. I will try to show him my perspective, but I won't force him into anything. I will try to convince him that my view is correct. I will be disappointed, but I won’t deal with it; everyone ultimately finds their own way.

What kind of environment are you trying to create at home?

Select an answer:

Open and supportive, where everyone can be themselves. Harmonious, where everyone respects each other and has clear boundaries. Relaxed, where there is a lot of freedom and as little tension as possible. Structured, where everyone knows what is expected of them. Adaptive, so that everyone feels comfortable according to their needs.

Your child comes home with a great achievement. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I sincerely look forward to it and we will celebrate together. I will tell him that I am proud of him and ask what motivated him. I will support him, but I will remind him that it is important not to rest on our laurels. I will praise him, but I won't exaggerate it to keep him humble. I'll leave it at that, successes are part of life and shouldn't be overestimated.

How do you resolve conflicts within your family?

Select an answer:

A discussion where everyone can express their opinion. I'm looking for a compromise so that everyone is at least somewhat satisfied. I'm giving some space to cool off and we'll deal with it later. I tend to make decisions from a position of authority. I prefer to avoid conflicts rather than deal with them.

What type of parent would you like to be?

Select an answer:

Supportive and understanding, so that the child feels safe. Motivating to have the courage to try new things. Open to sharing everything with me. Strict, but fair, to have clear boundaries. Flexible, so that I can adjust to his needs.
