Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Simply put, children are not equipped to manage life on their own. After all, children can’t earn
income and provide for their own economic security. They need a stable home and strong parents who
are committed to their well-being. Children need to feel safe and protected to engage in a healthy way
with the world.
When children feel protected, they can enjoy the magic and wonder of childhood. They won’t
need to waste energy worrying about issues that they can’t control and can engage in meaningful play
and favorite pastimes. If difficulties do arise, children can trust that their parents will handle those issues
as well.
While physical protection is important, don’t overlook the importance of family providing
emotional protection. You may have concerns about finances, the health of aging family members, or
the stability of your employment. These are common concerns for adults, but it’s usually best to shield
children from unnecessary burdens that they have little or no influence over. By doing so, you give them
better odds of being able to shoulder the emotional burdens that are typical for their age - keeping up
with homework, making new friends, and so forth.
What if a serious issue arises? While it may be necessary to involve them at some point, it should
be done in a way that is age-appropriate, and only after you have discussed the issue with your partner,
spouse, or other adults. Make sure such conversations are not able to be overheard by children. Then,
when it’s time to discuss the concern with them, limit the details to those that are appropriate, while
answering their questions honestly. In doing so, you’ll help your children feel secure and loved.
When serious difficulties arise, seek support from trusted friends and family to ensure you have
enough time for self-care and reflection. Taking care of yourself is key to ensuring that you can be a
sensitive and loving parent when your children need you most.
