Children live in their own world, from which adults are largely excluded. the adult world is strange and exciting to them. they have daydreams of success, adventure, romance and fame. they idolize their big brothers and sisters, pop singers or film stars. hobbies such as stamp collecting, music or dancing are important to them. children, especially when they are in their teens, go through a physical and emotional development, which can be frightening. their characters also begin to develop. some adolescents are introverts and keep themselves to themselves, while others are extroverts and like to share their thoughts and form relationships with other people. it's a wonderful, terrible time. it is often said that we live in a permissive age, one in which people are allowed to do almost everything they want, and adolescence is a very formative stage of their development since their final adult characters are beginning to take shape. some parents think it is good for children to be allowed to do anything they want, without control or supervision. they say that this enables children's personalities to develop naturally and that they will learn to be responsible by the mistakes they make. however, this might lead to juvenile delinquency, with the children ending up in the courts, or it might simply make children selfish, without any consideration for others. other parents believe in being strict, but taken to extremes this can produce a too authoritarian atmosphere at home, with the children being dominated and ruled by their parents. parents can also be very possessive and try to keep their children dependent on them. these can encourage rebelliousness (against parents, school, authority) in a child, or conversely, suppress a child's natural sense of adventure and curiosity. a strict upbringing by over-caring parents can make a child so timid and inhibited that he or she is unable to express freely his or her emotions and form mature relationships. to bring up children to be normal, well-adjusted human beings, requires great wisdom and perhaps a bit of luck. сократить до 15 предложений и пересказать. пересказ можно своими словами
