Answer to Question 1

C
Consistent limit setting is helpful to teens with ADHD because it is difficult for them to set limits for themselves. Encouraging lenient teachers violates this principle. The parents should seek teachers who are understanding of their daughter's condition but remain consistent in setting limits in their course. Positive reinforcement for appropriate behavior is more effective than punishment, and many medications for ADHD react with other medications and sometimes have serious side effects.

Answer to Question 2

C
These statements show severe self-doubt, indicating that the crisis of gaining control over the environment was not successfully met. Unsuccessful resolution of the crisis of initiative versus guilt results in feelings of guilt. Unsuccessful resolution of the crisis of trust versus mistrust results in poor interpersonal relationships and suspicion of others. Unsuccessful resolution of the crisis of generativity versus self-absorption results in self-absorption that limits the ability to grow as a person.
