A mother tries to help her daughter. What's really going on?
Mum: You don’t know
What you don’t know
Until you know
What you didn’t know.
Daughter: I know more than I ever wanted to know.
Mum: Now you know
The question is
Choose to ignore what you now know?
Or ask the next question?
Daughter: I’m not showing my face again.
Mum: The next question is
How do you feel about what you now know?
Daughter: My hands are trembling. I’m shaking all over.
Mum: Does it make sense to feel the way you do?
Daughter: I can’t believe you asked that!
Mum: How are your feelings affecting you?
Daughter: Stop practising on me mum and help me.
Mum: I am helping you.
Is there something you can do about it
That will help you become a better person?
Daughter: I’m leaving.
Mum: Don’t run away.
Think about
how to approach them without
Polarisation
Collision or
A shouting match.
Daughter: The only thing I’m thinking about is staying alive. Bye mum! [leaves]
Mum: You can’t keep running away!
