They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some spiteful remark about the friends’ parents. Such a loss of dignity and descent into childish behavior on the parts of the adults deeply shocks the adolescents, and makes them resolve that in future they will not talk to their parents about the places or the places they visit. Before very long the parents will be complaining that the child is so secretive and never tells them anything, seldom realizing that they have brought this on themselves. Disillusionment with the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents and as individuals, is to some degree inevitable. Most children have such a high idea of their parents, unless the parents themselves have been unsatisfactory, that it can hardly hope to stand up to a realistic evaluation. Parents would be very greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much belief their children usually have in their character and infallibility, and how much this faith means to a child. If parents were prepared for this adolescent reaction, and realized that it was a sign that the child was growing up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment, they would not be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by resenting and resisting it. The adolescent, with his patients for sincerity, always respects a parent who admits that he is wrong, or ignorant, or even that he had been unfair, or untrusted. What the child cannot forgive is the parents’ refusal to admit these charges if the child know them to be true. 71.
