Answer to Question 1

C
When children begin to achieve bladder control and learn the appropriate skills, they sometimes resist urinating on the toilet. Children often associate their urine and feces as extensions of self, and they do not want to flush part of themselves away.

Answer to Question 2

C
Although the time needed varies from person to person, moving through Worden's tasks typically takes a minimum of 1 year.
