- Read the following passage then choose the correct answer:

Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes of their friends, and they regard it as a disadvantage of their own cooking, cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the teenagers see they are annoyed. They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some spiteful remark about friends' parents. Such a loss of dignity and descent into childish behaviour deeply shocks the adolescents, and makes them resolve tha in future they will not tell their parents anything.

Before very long, the parents will be complaining that the child is secretive and never tells them anything, but they seldom realize that they have brought this on themselves. Disillusionment with the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents and as individuals, is to some degree inevitable. Most children have such a high ideal of their parents, unless the parents themselves have been satisfactory, that it can hardly hope to stand up a realistic evaluation. Parents would be greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much their children usually have in their character and infallibility, and how much this faith means to a child.

If parents were prepared for this adolescent reaction, and realized that this was a sign that the child was growing up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment, they would not be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by resenting and resisting it.
