The article discusses a parent's dilemma regarding her daughter Zoe wanting a lock on her bedroom door after a frustrating incident involving her younger brother, Kenny. The mother and her husband disagree on the necessity of the lock, considering both safety concerns and Zoe's need for privacy. The advice given emphasizes finding a balanced solution, such as ensuring there are accessible keys for emergencies, setting ground rules for accessing her room, and allowing Zoe some personal space as she grows older.
In my imagination, it's taped on top of the doorframe so that it's right there if there were an emergency.
Ground rules that you can still enter the room whenever you want.
If it were me, I'd probably allow the lock with a few caveats.
Zoe is going to be a teenager in the near future where privacy is paramount.
