Answer to Question 1

2. A hope for the child to enjoy life is realistic, and is not an achievement for the child.
3. Expecting a child with cerebral palsy to do well in the local school is a realistic hope that the child can possibly achieve.
4. A hope that the child is liked and accepted by other children is realistic, and not an achievement for this child.
