Which statement is the most appropriate advice to give parents of a 16-year-old girl who is rebellious?
a. "You need to be stricter so that your teen stops trying to test the limits."
b. "You need to collaborate with your daughter and set limits that are perceived as being reasonable."
c. "Increasing your teen's involvement with her peers will improve her self-esteem."
d. "Allow your teenager to choose the type of discipline that is used in your home."
ANS: B
Allowing teenagers to choose between realistic options and offering consistent and structured discipline typically enhances cooperation and decreases rebelliousness. Structure helps adolescents to feel more secure and assists them in the decision-making process. Setting stricter limits typically does not decrease rebelliousness or decrease testing of parental limits. Increasing peer involvement does not typically increase self-esteem.
