Multiple Choice

Why should parents refrain from finding fault with their teenagers in public?

• C) The best way to ride out the storminess of adolescence is to appease teens as much as possible; being critical will only create more problems.
• D) Recent research has found that adolescents who suffer such public criticism engage in higher levels of delinquency than their peers.
