《新概念英语第四册》Lesson 34-2 Adolescence 青春期

Disillusionmentwith the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents and as individuals, is to somedegreeinevitable. Mostchildren have such a high ideal of their parents, unless the parents themselveshave been unsatisfactory,that it can hardly hope to stand up to a realistic evaluation. Parents wouldbe greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much belieftheir children usually have in their character and infallibility, and how muchthis faith means to a child. If parents were prepared for this adolescentreaction, and realized that it was a sign that the child was growing up and developing valuable powers ofobservation and independentjudgment, they wouldnot be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by resenting and resisting it.
