Hold on while I look at all this...
The only parts that aren't parallel are the two instances where you have written "Independence" -- that word (r a word that gives the same meaning) needs to become a gerund.
Paragraph A is point-by-point, right? And paragraph B is block?
Now ... find another word for "independence" but in -ing form.
I'll be looking through the following; you should do the same:
http://www.answers.com
http://www.onelook.com
http://www.thesaurus.com
If you cannot come up with a gerund form of "independence," then you'll need to turn "playing" and "vocalizing" into noun forms to be parallel with "independence."
So everything else doesn't have to be parallel like needs and personalities and cats and dogs aren't gerunds but thats ok since they are a different part of the outline?
Needs and Personalities are parallel -- they are both nouns. (Level A and B)
Next level (1, 2, etc.) in A are all parallel -- all gerunds.
The only terms not parallel with others in their own level are the two instances of "independence."
