Q: What if my parents don't like my friends?
A: Parents may like some of your friends, but not others. Sometimes they may feel that a friend may be a bad influence on you. It is worth listening to their concerns. You may be able to reassure them about your friend but they may know something about your friend that you haven’t noticed yet.
Jamie and Louisa became friends when they were working on their science project together. Now they want to hang out after school. Jamie’s parents don’t want her to go to Louisa’s house after school because both of her parents work and there are no adults at the house until dinnertime.
Solution Resolution: Jamie decides to talk to her parents and ask if Louisa can come over to her house after school when her mom is at home. Louisa asks her parents if Jamie can come over on the weekend when one of her parents is at home. The girls also plan to meet at the Boy’s & Girl’s Club or the library after school.
