In this monologue, the speaker discusses the central question parents must ask themselves when deciding whether to grant their child responsibility: does the child give the impression that they can handle the responsibility? The speaker emphasizes the need for mutual trust—parents must trust their own judgment in recognizing readiness, and trust that the child can recognize their own capacity. This reflective process has been cultivated over years of parenting practice, and the speaker promises to share concrete examples.
