When Caitlin falls and hurts herself, she runs to her mother crying. Rather than comforting Caitlin, her mother offers her a toy to distract her. Her mother is a(n)
 
  proximal parent.
  distal parent.
  authoritative parent.
  slow-to-warm-up parent.

Question 2

Yashiko is 16 months old and is from Japan. Gerhardt is 16 months old and is from Germany. When meeting new people, Yashiko demonstrates more stranger anxiety than Gerhardt. What is the most likely explanation for this?
 
  Yashiko is female, and girls generally tend to exhibit stranger anxiety longer
  than males.
  Gerhardt's mother most likely carries him everywhere, so he feels more
  secure.
  Gerhardt is of German descent and therefore tends to be generally hardier
  than children of Asian descent.
  Yashiko has probably had fewer experiences with separation from her
  mother.
