Question 1
Children are most likely to feel guilty when they assert themselves if their parents:
◦ provide very clear rules for behavior.
◦ rarely enforce any limits on behavior.
◦ place excessive restrictions on the child's activities.
◦ ignore misbehavior and praise positive behavior.
Question 2
A mother notices that her son is aggressive in school and at home and wonders how she can help him avoid this type of behavior. She expresses her concerns to her own mother, who is a psychoanalyst. Which response would her mother be most likely to give?
◦ "What else has been going on in your lives that might be leading to his aggression? Is he fitting in with friends in the neighborhood? Has anything happened lately that has really upset him?"
◦ "His aggression is being rewarded by the environment. Be sure not to let him get what he wants by hurting others. Model calm behavior at home and reward him when he does the same."
◦ "Unfortunately, aggression is a trait that children are born with. It's in his genes. Your brother was the same way and there wasn't much I could do."
◦ "I know you are caring and nurturant, so as his mother you can help him overcome it. Try signing him up for a sport so that he can redirect his rage."
