Read the text about our relationships through life. Some words are missing from the text. Choose the best word from the box for each gap (1-9). There are two extra words you do not need.

The relationships that are really central to our lives constantly change 1    we grow older. First, the entire world consists of 2     parents, and maybe an older sibling or two. When parents set 3    a play date with another toddler, we don't actually play together, just side 4    side. The extended family and relatives also appear in our reality. We realize that we are connected to them – but we don't quite understand 5    what way. Then we begin discovering friendships in the playground or in kindergarten. Our parents begin 6    worry that friends are now more important to us than them. Some kids in kindergarten may even talk 7       their friends as their boyfriend or girlfriend - or as husband or wife. They are copying older generations, using terms for relationships they can't really tell apart 8      their own friendships yet. Romantic relationships don't really start 9       adolescence - or later. Teenagers also begin to wonder about their roles in society. The school years end, and we enter adult life. We move out of the parental home. We establish our own independent lives. We get married, have children- and we watch the same process again from the outside.
