Which of the following statements best describes the authors point of view on how parents should react to their children’s crush
es? A.parents should discourage crushes especially celebrity crushes and risky identity crushes B.parents should encourage crushes respect the child’s boundaries and not monitor in a way the adolescent C.parents should inform their children early on that crushes aren’t often serious -even if it feels like it -so that the adolescent will be able to face possible rejection more easily D.parents should support their children feeling but be aware of the possible risk or fallout that come with crushes
I think the answer is C.Parents should tell children what a crush is and also what it means for everyone.The fact that they are not serious will help children overcome the feeling of frustration at not having this love or attention from this person they desire.Rejection will consequently be accepted more easily if they know a crush is not so weighty in a person´s life.
