Would you have handled Austin's response to the doctor situation as Ms. Chang did? Why or why not?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Why does Ms. Chang limit the number of children who can be at the dramatic play area at once? What are the advantages of dramatic play for young children?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Ms. Chang's approach is quite effective. She doesn't embarrass Austin by calling him on his lie in front of his peers. She also gives him good reason to believe that the source of his frustration will probably be short-lived. And by reading a story with him, she provides an opportunity for him to calm down and regroup.

Answer to Question 2

In limiting the number of children, Ms. Chang increases the likelihood that all of the children who are there can play an active role in whatever scenario is being enacted at the time. Dramatic play has many benefits. For instance, it:
 Allows children to practice a variety of adult roles
 Gives children practice in planning and carrying out an extended activity
 Encourages children to behave in accordance with certain standards for behavior
 Enhances children's perspective-taking ability
 Provides a context in which children learn skills in negotiation, compromise, and conflict resolution
