                   %PARENT'S DUTY TO REACT TO CHILD 870612

     When  a person playing the parent role has a duty  to
react  in a prescribed way to specified behaviors  on  the
part of the child,  the child has the means to control the
parent's  behavior.    In attempting to be  in  prescribed
control of the child, the parent gives the child the tools
to  exercise  control  over  and to frustrate the  parent.
Because  the child knows what the parent "must"  do,   the
child  can set up situations  in  which  carrying out that
duty will  bring frustration  and unwanted conflict to the
parent.   Any system which prescribes what the parent must
do  in certain contexts gives to the child great power  to
control the parent.
