Read the passage and choose the best option to answer to each of the following questions.

One of your most important goals as a parent is to raise children who become independent and self-reliant people. However, some well-intended, but misguided parents have raised contingent children rather than responsible ones.

Contingent children are dependent on others for how they feel about themselves. Those children are raised by parents who act on their own needs for power and use control to ensure that they remain the dominant forces in their children’s lives.

Independent children differ from contingent children in several ways. If your children are independent, you have provided them with the belief that they are competent and capable of taking care of themselves. You offered them the guidance to find activities that are meaningful and satisfying. You gave your children the freedom to experience life fully and learn its many important lessons.

The most important thing about raising independent children is that you understand the essential responsibilities that you and they need to accept.

Your responsibilities revolve primarily around providing your children with the opportunity, means, and support to pursue their goals. The psychological means include providing love, guidance, and encouragement in their efforts. The practical means include ensuring that your children have the materials needed, proper instruction, and transportation, as well as other logistical concerns.

Your child’s responsibilities Involve doing what is necessary to maximize the opportunities that you give them. These responsibilities include giving their best effort, being responsible and disciplined, staying committed, and giving an achievement opportunity a realistic try, as well as, completing all tasks and exercises, getting the most out of instruction, being cooperative, and expressing appreciation and gratitude for others’ efforts.
