The child is where we turn to have fun also, the adult is the part that thinks about the situation and then decides if the child can come out to play so to speak. The parent is the part of us where our prejudices lie, it's the stern part of us and also the most inflexible. Basically all 3 can play a role in a healthy psyche but the adult decides.
For example we go to a party. The adult says "hey lets have fun" and then we have a couple drinks. But then the adult notices that we've gotten a little sloppy so the adult reins in the child a little. The adult keeps everything in check.
The adult is the part that acesses a situation by using pros and cons.
