Case: Michelle Icard's parenting book, "Eight Setbacks That Can Make a Child A Success", provides advice on how to teach children to see failures or setbacks as opportunities for growth, character building, and pathways to success. At the end of the book, the author features "Your Child's Bill of Rights" as a resource for parents to refer to as they help their adolescents navigate various aspects of life. The purpose of this assignment is to read and reflect on "Your Child's Bill of Rights" (see below) and evaluate how they connect with evidence on healthy adolescent developmental outcomes. Reflections should include evidence from our textbook, course materials, and/or other research-based materials related to the fundamental transitions of adolescence (i.e., biological, cognitive, and social).

Your Child's Bill of Rights (from Michelle Icard "Eight Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success")

Adolescents have the right to:

Make mistakes and have opportunities to fix them
Maintain some privacy
Take risks
Choose their own friends and gather with peers
Practice making informed decisions about their bodies
Receive the benefit of the doubt
Negotiate and self-advocate
Determine their own values
Access accurate information from multiple perspectives and sources on all topics
Seek independence - not to be relied upon, by their parents, for personal, emotional, or financial gain
Instructions

In your reflection, please address the following:
Choose 3 rights from "Your Child's Bill of Rights" and evaluate how they connect with evidence on healthy adolescent developmental outcomes. Be specific on HOW these rights promote healthy biological, cognitive, or social development outcomes.
Discuss specific ways parents can ensure these rights are provided for their adolescents. For example, if you pick #5 (practice making informed decisions about their bodies), you would outline steps parents could take to enable their adolescents to exercise their right to make numerous decisions including, their physical and mental health; nutrition and exercise; access to birth control, gender-affirming medical procedures, etc.
