Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As children grow older, they start spending more time with peers than with family members. Peer groups become a major source of social interaction, support, and validation. Therefore, their influence on children's attitudes, behavior, and beliefs increases relative to the influence of family members, although family members still play an important role in shaping children's development. The other options (B, C, and D) may have some influence on children's development, but their impact is often more indirect and less immediate than that of peer groups.
