Answer to Question 1

The text describes the notion of storm and stress as being vastly overstated. Evidence to support a more positive view of teens includes the fact that most teens admire/love their parents and rely on them for advice, embracing their parents' values. In addition, most teens have relatively high levels of self-esteem across a variety of domains.

Students may also describe how teenagers' relationships with their parents do change, including an increase of independence and autonomy for the adolescent, a shift to a more egalitarian relationship, and a recognition that there may be fewer outward expressions of affection. Parents should also expect to spend less time with their adolescents during these years, as time spent with peers increases.

Answer to Question 2
