KID
| 1. |
 |
I will ask you
any question I think is worth knowing about. |
|
| 2. |
|
I won't let
the fact that you (or I) may be embarrassed stop me from talking to
you. This includes stuff like [_________________], which makes me
feel a little uncomfortable. |
|
| 3. |
|
won't worry
that you'll think I want to do something just because I ask you about
it. |
|
| 4. |
|
I won't worry
about looking stupid, even if other kids already know the answer or
if I've asked you the same question before. |
|
| 5. |
|
I will keep
my word that if you can't talk, or are not able to answer my question
at the time I ask, I will be willing to wait a little. |
|
| 6. |
|
I won't say
you are too old to understand. |
|
| 7. |
|
I will always
respect you and our talks. |

PARENT
| 1. |
|
I will answer
all your questions the best I can, and without any lecturing. |
|
| 2. |
|
I won't let
the fact that you (or I) may be embarrassed stop me from talking to
you. This includes stuff like [_________________], which makes me
feel a little uncomfortable. |
|
| 3. |
|
I won't assume
that because you ask about something, that means you want to do it. |
|
| 4. |
|
I will try never
to make you feel silly or stupid about the questions you ask. Trying
to understand things is a sign that you are smart—not dumb. |
|
| 5. |
|
I will keep
my word that if I can't talk at that moment, or if I can't answer
your question, I will let you know when I can talk, and I'll get back
to you with an answer. |
|
| 6. |
|
I won't say
you are too young to know the answer. |
|
| 7. |
|
I will always
respect you and our talks. |
