ANS: A
All the outcomes show some positive resolution, but the most optimal response is the parents and teen jointly planning the parents' nights out. This shows collaboration, communication, and mutual respect. In the end, everyone's needs are taken into consideration, and the teen will be more willing to adapt the current role to include watching the siblings. Consistent consequences delivered without anger is a hallmark of healthy discipline. The teen is taking responsibility when he or she acknowledges that the forgetting occurs on purpose. The lines of communication are open when the teen is allowed to verbalize feelings.
