My life as a dependent, when my parents supplied my every need, is the script that guides my behavior today as an adult with children. The life script I endured as a teenager (I was not a so-called "bad kid") helped me shape my children, almost following the same story line. "Marvin Minsky, who used the term frames, proposed that we have a "remembered framework" that represents a stereotyped version of commonly encountered situations. . ." (Whitman, 2011). I remembered asking my parents if I could go to a party; the answer was determined on who was I going with , what time was the party and where was the party , and if I could deal with their curfew they gave me. The question that asked where the party was would have given the answer to if I could go. This script played out with my son when he was a teenager, and now my daughters are experiencing it.
Cultural and societal expectations shape our internal scripts because life journeys were sometimes determined by the norms we faced. It was normal to see mom in the kitchen preparing our daily meals that nourished us; also we said our prayers together at bedtime. We were expected to respect our elders, no exceptions, and adults handled adult business.
