Question 2: Scenario 2

Paco and his mother were shopping at the mall. Paco wanted a new jeans jacket like the one many of the popular kids in his class were wearing. He asked his mother to buy one for him. She said she could not afford one right then because she needed to buy a new jacket for herself. She wanted a nice jacket to wear to a meeting about a new job. Paco told her that all his friends had jeans jackets. He was afraid that if he did not get one, no one would like him. His mother listened to Paco, but she disagreed with him. She bought the jacket for her meeting. Paco said you care more about your new job than about me.

B- What kind of advice you would like to give to Paco.
