Explanation:
In this example, the scenario will be the fact that I have started high school. I believe that because of this, my curfew should be different. This is an example of a dialogue that would discuss this
Me: I need a later curfew I have so much things to do and don't have time to do what I want , i am 16 now.
Mom: no you need to go to bed early so you can do what you need not what you want.
Me:ok , make you happy for now but if you don't let me now I'm going to later this will cause experiences that I have never encountered later in life that I could know about sooner but couldn't because i was restricted and when I have less common sense then everyone when I'm older it's your fault
When trying to explain an idea, or belief to your parents, its important to do so in a polite, but assertive way. It is good to come in prepared, and to also listen to what they have to say. Using body language, and nonverbal cues, can help better your argument, as well as explaining things further. Parents often have rules in place to keep one safe, so it is important to take this into account. A good example showcase such a conversation would be one of discussing a later curfew. A good way to go about so can be such: (Parent is P and child is C)
C: I believe, since I'm older, that this should grant a later curfew.
P: Your age doesn't determine your curfew. You can already stay out late enough as it is.
C: I would respectfully like to disagree with you on that. I now have a car, and can take myself places, I am no longer reliant on you for a ride. Because f this I can now go more places, maybe even get a job, or hang out with my friends a little more.
P: Your curfew is not there for entertainment purpose, it's there to keep you safe, and prevent you from neglecting the tasks you need to do.
C: I understand your beliefs, but it is also important for a kid my age to grow a sense of independence, so that when the time comes, I am not a helpless fool. This also would help me become more self reliant, and despite you wanting to keep me safe and protected, it is important for me to learn on my own accord too, which involves making my own mistakes. Getting what I need done is important as well, but such responsibilites, will help me better my time managment as well.
P: I still don't believe it is such a good idea.
C: I understand, though I ask that you please think about it, and maybe even discus it more with me at a later time.
