[quote=Anonymous]17 is different than 13. A serious issue, like a health and safety risk, is different than situation where everyone is in a bad mood and a discussion about a bad test grade goes off the rails. The first one needs to be dealt with now. So you unlock the door and deal with it. The second one, you tell the kid that you take them a lot more seriously without the 13 year old drama. And that when they have calmed down, you need to finish the conversation. Which will happen before — insert what they want to do here. I don’t get the power play over the locked door. I have the thing to pothe lock. I can open the door at any point. I know it. They know it. A power struggle over it gets in the way of solving the actual problem. [/quote]
