Answer to Question 1

B
Trust and consistency play a major role in the development of a child's self-concept. Abandonment provides neither. The mother's absence may not affect the motor or cognitive skills of the children. Body image is only one component of self-concept.

Answer to Question 2

C
Time-out is designed so that staff can be consistent in their interventions. Time-out may require going to a designated room or sitting on the periphery of an activity until the child gains self-control and reviews the episode with a staff member. Time-out does not involve special attention. Counting to 10 or 20 is not sufficient.
