Parent
How do you feel about your cousin moving in for a few months?

Child
I am surprised about my cousin moving in, but I can share the desk if I still have evenings for homework.

Child
Why is my cousin coming to stay, exactly?

Parent
He is coming because he has a new job nearby and needs a quiet place to start.

Parent
Shall we write house rules together so nobody feels pushed out?

Child
Yes, let's write the house rules together. Written rules feel fairer to everyone.

Child
Can I still have my own time in the evenings?

Parent
Yes, you can still have your own time in the evenings. We will put that in the rules.

Child
How long will my cousin stay with us?

Parent
Your cousin will stay with us for a few months, until he finds his own place.
