Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Cognitive therapy teaches children to change reactions so that automatic negative thought patterns are replaced with alternative ones. Behavioral therapy uses stimulus and response conditioning to manage or alter behavior, reinforcing desired behaviors and replacing the inappropriate ones. Milieu therapy involves a specially structured setting designed to promote the child's adaptive and social skills. With individual therapy, the child and therapist work together to resolve the conflicts, emotions, or behavior problems.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Behavior management techniques include redirecting the child's attention when needed, setting limits for responsible behavior, ignoring inappropriate behaviors, and providing praise and positive feedback for the child's self-control efforts.
