Do the following role-play. See “How to do a role-play1 strategies” (page 169).
- Choose a role and prepare to take part in a family conversation.
- Discuss the situation in “your” family:
Example: Mark has got a new friend John who is 3 years older. He has finished school and is not working or studying, so he’s got a lot of free time. Mark, however, has to go to school. And Mark’s parents think John is not the kind of person their son should be spending time with.
- If necessary, listen to the tapescript once again to understand the position of your character in Ex. 86.
- Try to reach a compromise but do not forget your role.
- Read through the conflict resolution steps before you start the discussion.
Father
You are a father of 3 children. The youngest, Mark, has a lot of friends you don’t like much. You think he should have a right to choose but that he should also listen to your advice and discuss any problems with you.Mark
You are the youngest child in the family and so sometimes the other members of your family think they can decide what you should do, whom you should make friends with, etc. From time to time you have arguments with your parents, especially with your mother, but you always try to defend your independence.Mother
You are a mother of 3 children. The youngest, Mark, has a lot of friends you don’t like at all. You especially don’t like his new friend John and you insist that Mark should not spend time with him.Jessica
You are 16-year-old girl. Your two brothers have a lot of friends. You do not like some of them but this doesn’t bother you since they are not your friends and you believe your brothers have a right to choose. You support your youngest brother Mark when he has arguments with your parents, especially your mother.Conflict resolution steps:
- Decide what the problem is.
- Let everyone suggest an idea about how to solve the problem.
- Together discuss what will happen with each idea.
- Choose the best idea.
- Put the idea into action.
Father: The problem is that Mark spends time with friends we don’t like, especially with John. I think Mark should choose his friends himself, but he must also listen to our advice.
Mother: I don’t think John is a good influence on Mark. He should not spend so much time with him.
Mark: John is my friend, and I have the right to choose my friends. I understand your worries, but I want you to trust me.
Jessica: I think Mark should be allowed to make his own choice. But he should also explain to our parents why John is important to him.
Father: Maybe Mark can spend less time with John until we get to know him better.
Mother: I can agree to that if Mark promises to be careful.
Mark: All right, I’ll be careful and I’ll tell you more about John.
Jessica: That sounds like a good compromise.
Ответ
The family agrees that Mark may continue to see John, but he should be careful and discuss his friendship with his parents.
