Telling my family members I am pregnant….
How would I tell your parents/family members you’re pregnant and what would their reaction be? If
your son or daughter told you she was pregnant how you would react, would it be the same as your
parents or would you somehow think it would be different? (more understanding, less
understanding/supportive?)
In full sentence form answer the following questions….
1. How would you tell your family members (parents/guardians) you were pregnant? (Under what
conditions/location/setting/circumstances, which one would you tell first?)
2. What do you think their reaction would be?
3. How would you handle or prepare yourself for their reaction?
Now put yourself in your family member’s shoes, you become the parent…
4. How would you react if your teenage daughter told you she was pregnant? Would it be much
different than your family’s reaction?
5. Would you support her? Why? How?
6. What if any role do you think the teenage father or his family should play?
