ABSTRACT

Eva consulted her family about what they would like to do if she took some time off work. They were unanimous in wanting a really good holiday but it took a while before they could agree on a destination that pleased everyone. Eventually they agreed on a long driving holiday in the USA, visiting different places to please each person. Eva was delighted with how the negotiations went and felt that her children were very mature in their ability to take on board each person’s different preferences and to agree a schedule that only partly met their individual wishes.
