Dear Queenie,
We are very careful about what we let our children watch on TV. Recently our daughter was invited to a sleepover at a friend’s house and we know from what she tells us that the friend is allowed to watch programs and movies that we would never allow our daughter to see, at least not until she is much older than she is now. But she will be very disappointed if she can’t go.
Queenie, what to do?—Careful parents
Dear Careful,
Why not call the friend’s mother and explain your restrictions to her? Tell her you would like to let your daughter attend if she will guarantee to abide by your limitations. If she will not agree, do not let your daughter go and explain to both of them why not.
