Answer to Question 1

Rationale: Acts of violence against children range from a light slap to a severe beating to homicide. In some families or cultures, hitting or spanking children is condoned and even approved as being necessary and good for the child. Many parents, however, do not realize the underlying messages they are giving the child by hitting.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Mastery imagery shapes the individual's thoughts about being in control or having mastery over a particular situation. The point of this technique is to practice imagining successful behavior change.
