Stop and Think before making a Decision
· It’s OK NOT to have all the answers right away. You can ask for some time to think about how you are going to handle the situation. Request the time
Example: I don’t know how I feel about you getting your tongue pierced, give me a couple of days to think about it. Maybe once you thought about it, as a parent you will say, “I am not very comfortable with you getting your tongue pierced. It feels like just a fad to me. So if you wait a year and still want to get it pierced, I will allow it because I will know you truly want it rather than it being an impulse decision.
