Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Between 3 and 4 years of age, the child becomes curious about death and dying. They may realize that others die, but they do not relate death to themselves.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Time-out periods, usually lasting 1 minute per year of age, with the child sitting in a chair or corner, are considered an effective disciplinary technique.
