5. Not to be used as a messenger between parents
6. Not to be asked to tell lies about the other parent
7. Not to be a parent's legal confidant
8. To express their feelings and to choose not to express certain feelings
9. To be shielded from parental "warfare"
10. Not to feel guilty for loving both parents
