Bowdie used to be a model child, but since he hit puberty, he's been getting into trouble and was recently suspended from school. His frantic parents ask, "Is my son destined for problems as an adult?" According to the text, what is the BEST reply?
a) "Sorry, yes. The way kids behave as teens offers a good preview of their adult life, so you need to take action now and in the future, too."
b) "Don't worry. Children who act out as adolescents always end up just fine, so just hang in and endure these next few years."
c) "Sorry, yes—but only because your child is a boy."
d) "There is a reasonable chance he'll be fine. The fact that your son is only getting into trouble at this life stage suggests this may be adolescent-limited turmoil."
