According to developmental research, adolescents who are engaged in verbal give-and-take with their parents are more likely to experience healthy development. This style of communication fosters a sense of autonomy, while also ensuring that adolescents feel supported and understood. Parents who encourage freedom and spontaneity (choice A) may not provide enough structure, which can lead to behavioral problems. Parents who encourage dependence and obedience (choice C) may inhibit their children's ability to develop independence and initiative. Parents who encourage autonomy and personal distance (choice D) may create emotional distance from their children.
