  b. Roberto's risk-taking is unlikely to decline in young adulthood.
  c. Closer parental monitoring can help reduce the deviant behavior and protect Roberto from harm.

On the basis of research on parenting, what advice should counselors give parents about how much to be involved in their adolescents' school life?
