Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
While parents use positive reinforcement to encourage desirable behavior, they can use negative consequences to reduce misbehavior. Consistency is a key factor in success. If the undesired behavior is only sometimes met with negative consequences, the child will continue with the behavior. Parents can use typical child discipline measures, such as forfeiting a planned activity, initiating time-out, or taking away television or computer time, as the consequences.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
An essential classroom technique for those with psychiatric challenges is to provide a high degree of structure. Clear expectations and defined limits diminish the youths' anxiety. Low academic performance is not punished.
