#Adolescentprivacy

A recent advice column published in Slate has ignited a nationwide conversation on adolescent privacy, focusing on the contentious issue of whether children and teens should be permitted to lock their bedroom doors at home. The column, titled “My Husband Doesn’t Want to Allow Our Daughter to Lock Her Door. But I Think She Might Have a Good Reason,” depicts a family conflict where parental attitudes about privacy and safety clash, raising complex questions about child development and family dynamics.
