These authority figures never saw the way one of us could do something outrageous, and the rest of us would joke about it for days.

And she has had parents say they are paying a lot of money for their child' s education and【C4】______that anything but an A is an unacceptable【C5】______on their investment." Such parents are doing their children no favors. In fact,【C6】______" rescuing" their children, they are preventing them from " having real experiences of decision making, failing, and【C7】______their own messes," writes the report. The author adds: " If parents run too much interference【C8】______problem solving for their children while the children sit back and do【C9】______the parents will get stronger,【C10】______the children get weaker and fall over when they try to run on their own."
