[quote=Anonymous]I had three teens during Covid lockdown, and we sat down and decided together what we would do/not do. We researched and presented scientific reports or preprints to try to understand what the best practices were, and how to proceed. We all had to agree. It helped them take responsibility for the decisions. We still do that now - if there’s an uptick then we meet and discuss what to do. That doesn’t help your current situation, though. I too have a 21 yo who blames me for their own bad decisions, and I find it helps to listen and to acknowledge their feelings. That doesn’t mean taking blame. Remind them that if they can determine what role they played, they have more control over avoiding that mistake in the future. [/quote]
