| Description |
This portion of the discussion describes the relationship between the children and their parents at home. Mr. and Mrs. Vaught discuss what responsibilities their son has, and how he earns money. Mr and Mrs. McDougall point to the fact that their son is saving his money to go to college. All the parents feel that their children should have some responsibilities in the home, and that very few rules should be imposed. This, they agree, applies in the field of social activities, and although two of the parents are not very happy about the prospect of teenagers who go steady, they all believe that their children’s social lives, and marriages, should not be interfered with by the parents. Mr. and Mrs. Peters conclude with the comment that parents should not force children to excel if they are not inclined to do so. Parent should encourage the child’s capabilities without setting unduly high standards.
