Revised Answer (140 words):
The reading passage introduces the concept of bidirectionality, emphasizing the mutual relationship between children and their parents concerning influence and response. The professor illustrates this principle using an example of Max, a cheerful baby with affectionate parents. Max frequently communicates with his parents by smiling and making various sounds, which subsequently influence their responses. When Max smiles, his parents reciprocate, and they actively engage in conversation when he attempts to communicate. As a result, Max's behavior fosters increased interaction from his parents, who subsequently shape his future actions. This example effectively demonstrates the bidirectional nature of parent-child relationships, emphasizing the importance of understanding both parties' roles in shaping each other's behavior and development.
