45. Which of the following is implied in the passage about Lindsay Lohan’s father?

A. He left the family when she was young C. The press wrote stories about his troubles

B. He stole her money D. He recently moved

 Sarah Cunning had a hard time getting her baby to stop crying. She had tried everything: rocking,

carrying him, and turning on the vacuum cleaner. Finally she contacted Fussy Baby Support Services.

After two hours of observation, the representatives concluded that the baby was overstimulated and

needed a more soothing environment. They taught Sarah how to make her home more relaxing and she

immediately saw results.

At times, being a parent can be frustrating and many affluent parents are looking for assistance.

According to one parent-help service in New York City, there has been a 50% increase in parents coming in

for help with parental challenges. Some parents are willing to pay $60 an hour to have someone toilet train

their child, get their daughter to agree on modest school clothes, teach their son how to organize his

bedroom, teach their kid to ride a bike, manage their kid’s homework each week, and even sit up all night in

their child’s room in case they have a nightmare.

There are many reasons affluent parents hire someone to help their children. Impatience and lack of

confidence are typical reasons for outsourcing parental duties. Also, excellence is often expected in these

families and therefore parents hire an expert. These parents also want to avoid the exasperating

confrontations of childrearing. They don’t want to get frustrated and ruin the relationship they have with their

children. Child psychologists however, believe that when parents are not present for major steps in their

children lives, they are destroying their relationship with their children. The bond between a parent and a

child can only be built through quality time spent with one another. Children need and want to spend time

with their parents. Children learn more about life through their parents’ examples than anything else in their

lives.
