Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: Assuring the parent that this is a normal part of development is the best response.
Rationale 2: Assuring the parent that this is a normal part of development is the best response. This response would lead the parent to believe that the child's behavior is abnormal.
Rationale 3: Assuring the parent that this is a normal part of development is the best response. This response would lead the parent to believe that the child's behavior is abnormal.
Rationale 4: In the phallic stage, as described by Freud, which occurs from age 4 to 6 years, the child's genitals are the center of pleasure. Masturbation offers pleasure, and questions about sexual topics from parents are normal. Assuring the parent that this is a normal part of development is the best response.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Temperament is the way individuals respond to their external and internal environment and sets the stage for the interactive dynamics of growth and development.
Rationale 2: Physical characteristics include eye color and potential height and do not affect how children interact, for the most part.
Rationale 3: Environment includes family, religion, climate, culture, school, community, and nutrition and would not play as big of a role in how the child responds to peers as temperament does.
Rationale 4: Culture is part of environmental factors.
