Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30. Pre-teen and teenage relationships with parents and families change during adolescence, but pre-teens and teenagers need parent and family support as much as they did when they were younger. When your child was young, your role was to nurture and guide them. Now you might be finding that your relationship with your child is becoming more equal. You remain a source of care, emotional support,
security and safety for your child, as well as practical and financial help. Your child still loves you and wants you to be involved in their life – even though their attitude or behaviour might sometimes send a different message. Most young people and their families have ups and downs during these years, but things usually improve by late adolescence as children become more mature. And family relationships tend to stay strong right through. Adolescence can be a difficult time. Your child is going through rapid physical changes as well as emotional ups and downs. Young people aren’t always sure where they fit, and they’re still trying to work it out. Adolescence can also be a time when peer influences cause stress. During this time, your family is a secure emotional base where your child feels loved and accepted, no matter what’s going on in the rest of their life. Your family can build and support your child’s confidence, resilience, optimism and identity. When your family sets rules, boundaries and standards of behaviour and builds strong relationships, you give your child a sense of consistency, predictability, safety and belonging. And believe it or not, your life experiences and knowledge can be useful to your child – they just might not always want you to know it! Supportive and close family relationships protect your child from risky behaviour like alcohol and other drug use and mental health problems like depression. Your support and interest in what your child is doing at school can boost their desire to do well academically too.
