I didn't think to help my kids with a script. I was focused on helping them understand what was happening and talking about how to manage it so we were all comfortable. One more thing I've screwed up I guess.
I don't think you screwed up. I'm just thinking that since it appeared a bit uncomfortable with them coming up with a response that perhaps you could now talk to them about that and offer some ideas as to how to respond in future situations. Also help them to understand that sometimes they don't even need to respond if the follow-up questions begin to get personal. They can always use the fall back of "I don't know, ask my Mom."
