A place where he can have
privacy that’s one responsibil
ity parents have for their child
A child feels the need tor a
place of his own. says Mrs Mar
guerite L. Duvall, Penn State
family life extension specialist.
Parents should understand this
need and accept it.
When a child doesn’t include
his parents, it may not mean that
parents have faded in establish
ing good relations. At such times,
it’s' important for parents to have
faith in their child.
