Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Nine-year-olds take the values of their peer group very seriously. This is typically the friend or club age because children form groups, usually spite clubs.. This type of club does not teach the child leadership skills, develop autonomy, or to learn rules.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Early childhood stealing is best handled without a great deal of emotion. A parent should tell the child the money is missing. The importance of property rights should be reviewed: The sibling's money is his, the child's money is the child's, and they are not interchangeable. Stealing is not unusual for a 7-year-old child. The mother does not need to buy the other child a bank. The behavior does not necessarily occur because of school-related stress.
