" My 10-year-old son is going on a spring-break trip with another family. I want to make sure the kids are well supervised -- how do I talk to the other mom? When you speak to her, start off on the right foot by saying, &amp;quot;Thanks so much for taking Joey! He&amp;#039;s really excited. I&amp;#039;d just like to find out a little about your family routines, so he knows what the guidelines are.&amp;quot; If big differences about ground rules emerge, have a discussion without sounding critical. (Remember that you can always reconsider letting your son go.) Be matter-of-fact in stating your own nonnegotiables, such as no R-rated movies. You don&amp;#039;t have to apologize for good parenting. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
