Correct Response: B. According to parenting experts, participating in family meetings helps develop effective problem-solving skills. All participants learn to practice compromise, propose solutions to problems, and work with others. Through structured discussions each week, parents have repeated opportunities to reinforce the family's values, making the development of flexible patterns of behavior (A) less likely. However, exposure to family values at these meetings cannot be considered a guaranteed deterrent to the development of negative behaviors (D). Although participation in family meetings can boost self-esteem and confidence, the venue promotes consideration of the needs of the whole group rather than simple individual fulfillment (C).
