A child is asking you provocative questions and questioning your decision. How do you respond?

  • I discuss, but certain things are simply given.

  • I feel threatened when it comes to authority.
  • I will explain my decision and let him think it over.
  • It depends on the situation – sometimes a discussion, sometimes a firm stance.
