[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it not cool to tell kids not to lock doors?  I don't remember ever locking a door as a kid, and I tell my kids not to lock doors too. [/quote]

It's important for a child, especially a teen, to feel like they have some privacy. People have a right to that. Telling a child or teen not to lock the door doesn't give them a lot of their own space. It may not affect everyone the same way, but it could lead to the child hiding/sneaking in other ways to get that sense of control, and not expressing things etc. in rebellion.

Why wouldn't you want your child to lock a door? Are you okay with them exploring their bodies etc.? That's obviously going to happen to and I don't want to discourage my kids from doing that if they want to lock the bathroom or their bedroom door.[/quote]

My kids are young. But I still don't understand this. We never locked doors in our house. If a door was closed you knocked and didn't go in until invited in. Hardly seems like a lock is the only way teenagers can be given privacy. [/quote]
