_____________________________________________________________________________________ Parents who restrict their children instead of guiding them, actually end up coming in their way of 
self-discovery.
 According to Bhagat Rajput, consultant, Manipal Hospital in Delhi, independence is essential for 
children’s growth, but mostly it’s the generation gap between the children and the parents that acts as a 
barrier. “This gap is obvious because each of them grows up in two separate historical times and cultures, 
impacting the views, values and tastes. The barrier can be minimised with parents acting as guides to 
adolescents and increasing communication and understanding in the relationship,” Rajput told IANS.
 Struggling for personal independence, 23-year-old Delhi based Muskan, said: “Parents putting 
barriers at every step harms more than it helps. This is the time when we are trying to build our own 
identity and want to make our own mistakes. Parents think they’re advising or helping US, but too much 
interference is not really good.”
 The researchers recommend parents support the teens if they can’t solve the problems 
independently. Parents should also establish specific milestones and create opportunities to guide their 
teens in gaining experience and confidence while reaching those goals, they said. According to 
researchers, one quarter of the parents surveyed admit they are the main barrier to their teen’s 
independence as they don’t take the time or make effort to give them more responsibility.
 “Parenting is about learning to care and control in the right way. Autonomy for young people is 
important for the development of their identity. But autonomy has to be within a safety framework,” 
Achal Bhagat, senior consultant, psychiatry, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, told IANS.

Task 3. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following 
questions.
 Watching your child grow up and become their own person is amazing! You may feel a little sad 
sometimes when they’re spending less time with you and doing more on their own. These signs of 
independence are normal parts of becoming a teen. Remember that you are important to your teen’s 
healthy development and can help them make good decisions.
 Raising healthy and independent teens means encouraging them to explore interests and activities 
that may take them away from home. You can help them discover hobbies that will keep them active, 
teach them new skills, and let them have fun.
 While your teen may be spending more time at school, at work, or hanging out with friends, let 
them know you are always there for them. You can plan get-togethers, meals, or other activities so that 
you and your teen can check in with each other. When you are together, make sure you are really listening 
and responding empathetically to your teen so that they feel heard. This time with each other can help 
you both feel connected when you’re apart. Doing things together on a regular basis can also give you the 
time and space you need to provide guidance and set limits. It’s helpful to talk to your teen about how you Task 1. Complete the following sentences using given words. Change the form of the verbs if
