“My 16-year-old daughter asked, or maybe go camping with a group of good friends. I objected emphatically. However, she is very insistent. So far, I haven't had any trouble with her. I'm afraid - after all, such trips have different endings. What should I do? ”
There is always a moment like this, when a child wants to go on vacation with their own friends. Usually, the matter is simpler with the son, worse with my daughter. Almost every mother, when he hears about such vacations, he imagines consolation in his friend's arms, which – taking advantage of the situation, he deprives her of virtue. But let's remember, that when a girl is determined to start sexual intercourse, it doesn't have to leave home. If we categorically forbid our daughter to vacation with friends, it will probably say next time, that he wants to go on a school trip or thinks up a different story, if only to get out of the house.
The problem lies in the relationship between parents and children. Daughter should know, that if the mother does not accept the departure, that's not why, that he doesn't trust her. Let's not say, for example: Anka Kowalska went camping and came back pregnant!
Yes – we must make the daughter aware, what situations may arise during such a trip. But also emphasize, that we are counting on her sanity and trusting her. Also, let's not ignore the topic of contraception. It is also good to get to know the company, in which daughter wants to spend this vacation. This course of action is much better than a strict prohibition. Forbidden fruit is always more attractive and tastes better.
Let's also remember, that our child grows up and has to make a choice one day – without our participation.
If we protect them at all costs and keep them under a cover, it will not prepare for such situations and is likely to make the wrong decisions.
