The Lees have always been protective over their children. They adhered to strict rules and schedules for all their children regardless of age. As Mica turned 15, she began to challenge rules (staying out later than she was allowed and arguing nonstop with her parents). The most difficult event that happened was that Mica lied to her parents about staying over at her best friend’s house and instead went to a party where she got drunk and was taken to the police station when the party was raided. The family began therapy, which resulted in the Lees negotiating additional responsibilities and freedoms for Mica and learning new parenting skills for teens. This most closely describes

b. Understanding a family’s perceptions
