Dilemma 2: My Daughter's Privacy
Read the story below, and tell us what you would do.
You have been struggling with your child about communication and respect; she says you keep butting into her business and jumping into action without regard to her needs. In a recent heart-to-heart discussion, you agree to respect her privacy. For the last few days, she has been testing to see if you would keep your word, and there is a fragile truce in the family.

You are driving the carpool, and your daughter and a friend are talking about the dance that is coming up, and wondering if their friend Joan is going to take drugs at the dance again.

Consider these three possible responses -- what would be the most likely result?

If you ... what would be the "pros" and
"cons" of this response?
    Call Joan's parent with a warning.
    Tell your daughter that you do not want her going to the dance or be around people using drugs.
    Insist on chaperoning the dance and watch both Joan and your daughter like a hawk!
What would you do?
