Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale: The most appropriate response would be to acknowledge the child's feelings and give him something to look forward to (picking out a sticker). Waiting for the mother to come back would be inappropriate because toddlers do not have an understanding of time.Giving elaborate descriptions and using colorful language are inappropriate. The instructions should not end with a are you readystatement because the toddler will say no. You also don't want to frighten and/or confuse the child by using statements such as use of a magic sword.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale:Slow-to-warm-upchildren adapt slowly to new situations and initially will withdraw.Showing regularity in patterns of eating is a characteristic of an easychild,and displaying a predominately negative mood and commonly having intense reactions to the environment are characteristics of difficult children.
