physical changes as well as emotional ups and downs. Young people aren’t sure where they fit, and they are still trying to work it out. Adolescence can also be a time when peer influences and relationships can cause stress for teenagers and their families, and family support can be vital to getting through these challenges.
During this time, your family can be a secure emotional base where your child feels loved and accepted, no matter what’s going on in the rest of her life. Your family can build and support your child’s self-belief, confidence and optimism .When your family set rules, boundaries and standard behavior, you give your child a sense of consistency and predictability. And believe it or not, your life experiences and knowledge can be really useful to your child ---she just might not always want to know that.
Supportive and close family relationships can reduce risky teenage behavior, such as alcohol and drug abuse, and problems such as depression. They can also increase your child’s feeling of being connected to school and his desire to do well academically.
Strong family relationships can go a long way toward helping your teenager grow into a well-adjusted, considerate and caring adult.
Research suggests that just being around family is associated with fewer behavior problems in teenagers. This could be as simple as being in the kitchen when your child’s in her room, so she knows she could come and talk to you if she wanted to. Teenagers benefit from knowing that support is available, even though they might not be using it.
56. The author intends to __________.
A. tell us the family is very important to children B. express us the good family relationship C. show us why your child needs you.
