Zakar Letter

Decent Essays

Hope you are well. Please find below the letter we sent Zakar after he yelled at me (Mom) for not agreeing for him to have the septum. After we last met Zakar wrote us a note basically disowning us and warning that he will remain silent for 2 days in protest. I am letting you know ( as stated in my note to Zakar) that we have decided not to allow him to have the septum nose piercing done until he turns eighteen. As parents, we feel it is our duty to act as responsibly as we possibly can and do our best to safeguard him from attracting negative attention while still in his high school years. At this point, he is only speaking to me because I pushed him. He is very angry at his father and is not speaking to him. That gives him a lot of time …show more content…

I thought I should make you aware of some of his behaviours that we (as parents) observed overtime. Make no mistake, he is an extremely talented actor which he often uses to his advantage to secure his position in certain circumstances. We have seen this reaction from him over and over and we know his tendencies. We need to hold out firmly on our decisions. I believe with this bit of information about Zakar’s personality, you will have a better idea of how to angle your discussion in support of our decisions, while at the same time convincing Zakar that our intentions are positive and that we have his best interest at heart. I thought I should give you a heads up before your next meeting with Zakar because I don’t think you have ever seen this side of Zakar. We would also like you to encourage him to be respectful. show empathy to others and learn to negotiate, and we have suggested two things in the letter we wrote to him (see below). Sincerely,
