Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Children past the age of three are capable of mentally connecting and anticipating the cause-and-effect relationship between their actions and potential consequences. Adults should help children think about and talk about potential consequences of actions. Adults should avoid bribing, intimidating, or giving idle threats to children. Adults should never manipulate, coerce, or trick the child into behaving a certain way. Adults should give children reasonable choices, talk with children about potential consequences, and allow them to deal independently with consequences that are not harmful or unreasonable. For example, a child should be told the reasons for placing his plastic cup of milk away from the edge of the table where it can easily be knocked off. If the child over three fails to do so and the milk spills, he should be given paper towels or a sponge and guided to clean up the spill himself.
