An awareness that children's temperaments influence parents' child-rearing practices should inhibit our tendency to

A) emphasize the interaction of nature and nurture.
B) assess the stability of personality traits.
C) blame parents for our own dysfunctional characteristics.
D) identify cultural differences in child-rearing practices.

By recognizing that children's temperaments can influence parents' child-rearing practices, we can avoid blaming parents for our own dysfunctional characteristics. This is because parents may be reacting in a certain way due to their child's temperament, rather than intentionally causing the dysfunction. It is important to acknowledge the role of both nature (temperament) and nurture (parenting practices) in a child's development, but it is not necessary to emphasize it in this context. Assessing the stability of personality traits and identifying cultural differences in child-rearing practices may be important in other contexts, but they are not directly related to the topic at hand.
