  • 2. 

    The louder the child yells, the louder you yell.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that the louder the child yells, the louder you yell, which implies that the level of your yelling is directly proportional to the level of the child's yelling. However, this is not necessarily true. It is possible for someone to respond to a loud child by speaking softly or calmly, rather than yelling. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    When addressing a child, you must;

    • Open your request with the child's name

    • Open your request with a rhyming song

    • Scream at the top of your lungs

    • Stare at them

    Correct Answer
    A. Open your request with the child's name
    Explanation
    When addressing a child, it is important to open your request with the child's name. This helps to get their attention and establish a personal connection. By using their name, you are showing respect and acknowledging their individuality. It also helps to create a positive and friendly atmosphere for communication.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    When making a request to a child, you can make certain they understand the request by;

    • Ignoring the child if they don't understand the request

    • Having them do it until they get it right

    • Asking them to repeat it back to you

    • Not asking them again

    Correct Answer
    A. Asking them to repeat it back to you
    Explanation
    To ensure that a child understands a request, asking them to repeat it back to you is an effective method. This allows you to assess their comprehension and clarify any misunderstandings if needed. By asking for repetition, you can confirm that the child has grasped the instructions correctly and can proceed with the task confidently. Ignoring the child if they don't understand, having them do it until they get it right, or not asking them again do not actively address the issue of comprehension and may lead to confusion or frustration for the child.

    While speaking to kids you should be?

    • Creative

    • Mundane

    • Complex

    • Use foul language

    Correct Answer
    A. Creative
    Explanation
    When speaking to kids, it is important to be creative. This means using imaginative and engaging language, incorporating storytelling, and using visual aids or props to capture their attention and make the learning experience enjoyable. Being creative helps to stimulate their curiosity, promote active participation, and enhance their understanding and retention of information. It also makes the conversation more interesting and memorable for the children, fostering a positive and engaging learning environment.

    • Only study related

    Correct Answer
    A. Ones that goes beyond Yes and No
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Ones that go beyond Yes and No". This means that when asking kids questions, it is important to ask open-ended questions that encourage them to provide more detailed and thoughtful responses, rather than simple one-word answers. By asking questions that go beyond a simple "yes" or "no", it allows for more meaningful conversations and helps to stimulate their critical thinking and communication skills.

    Kids open up with what kind of adults?

    • Those who are funny

    • Those who are serious

    • Those who do not talk much

    • Those who do not make jokes

    Correct Answer
    A. Those who are funny
    Explanation
    Kids tend to open up more with adults who have a sense of humor and are funny. A funny adult can create a relaxed and enjoyable environment, making it easier for kids to feel comfortable and express themselves. Humor can also be a great icebreaker, helping to build a connection and trust between adults and children. Funny adults are often seen as approachable and non-threatening, which encourages kids to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences more openly.

    Explanation
    The given statement is false. It is not true that things sink in easier when a child is an emotional wreck. In fact, emotional equilibrium is important for effective learning and understanding.

This suggests that taking action and physically being present is prioritized over simply shouting or giving orders from a distance. It emphasizes the importance of being proactive and directly engaging with the child before making a request.

    One way you can reason with a child to avoid power struggles and have them do what you want them to do is by;

    • Make them do pushups

    • Making an offer they can't refuse

    • Sending them to Ms. Lilly

    • Not show any interest in them

    Correct Answer
    A. Making an offer they can't refuse
    Explanation
    One way to reason with a child and avoid power struggles is by making an offer they can't refuse. This means presenting them with a tempting incentive or reward that they would find difficult to turn down. By offering something they desire, such as a special treat or privilege, the child is more likely to cooperate and do what is asked of them without engaging in a power struggle. This approach focuses on positive reinforcement and motivation rather than using force or punishment.

    Instead of allowing children to decide what activities they want to participate in, you must....

    • Always smile when speaking to a child

    • Give choices

    • Always show the kids who is the boss

    • Make fun of kids

    Correct Answer
    A. Give choices
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to give choices. Allowing children to decide what activities they want to participate in gives them a sense of autonomy and helps develop their decision-making skills. It also promotes independence and encourages them to take responsibility for their choices. Giving choices also allows children to explore their interests and preferences, making the activity more enjoyable and engaging for them.

    We can't go to the park today; but we can have an extra gym period. Speaks of what Rule?

    • Give likable alternatives

    • Always make kids do what you want them to do

    • Make the child believe (s)he has a choice

    • Make the child believe (s) has no choice

    Correct Answer
    A. Give likable alternatives
    Explanation
    This rule suggests that instead of denying a child's request or telling them that they have no choice, it is better to offer them alternative options that they may find appealing. By giving likable alternatives, it allows the child to feel like they have some control and choice in the situation, which can help to prevent resistance or defiance.

  • 16. 

    As an adult, you must make sure that children understand your directives. If they do not understand, make sure to:

    • Chastise them

    • Remind them of the Golden Rule

    • Replay your message

    • Punish them

    Correct Answer
    A. Replay your message
    Explanation
    To ensure that children understand your directives, it is important to replay your message. This means repeating or rephrasing your instructions to reinforce the information and give them another opportunity to comprehend it. By replaying your message, you are providing clarity and giving them a chance to fully understand what is expected of them. This approach promotes effective communication and helps to avoid misunderstandings or confusion. Chastising, reminding them of the Golden Rule, or punishing them may not necessarily address the issue of understanding and may not be effective in ensuring comprehension.

    Explanation

It emphasizes the importance of avoiding complex or confusing language and concepts, and instead, communicating in a straightforward and clear manner. This approach helps to ensure effective communication and helps the child grasp the information more easily.

    • Give advance notice before transitions

    • Make them lazy

    Correct Answer
    A. Give advance notice before transitions
    Explanation

By giving advance notice before transitions, the children have time to prepare themselves mentally and physically for the change. This helps to minimize any potential resistance or confusion that may arise when abruptly transitioning from one activity to another.

    Rate this question:

    • Be respectful

    • Open up a closed child

    • Show dislike towards child

    A. Open up a closed child
    Explanation
    This rule is called "Open up a closed child".

This helps to create a more engaging and meaningful conversation with the child.

    • Call the child before meeting

    Correct Answer
    A. Make eye contact with a child and teach them how to focus
    Explanation
    "Connect before you direct" refers to the idea that before giving instructions or guidance to a child, it is important to establish a connection with them. This can be done by making eye contact with the child, which helps to establish a sense of trust and engagement. By making eye contact and teaching the child how to focus, you are creating a foundation for effective communication and learning. This approach recognizes the importance of building a relationship with the child before attempting to direct their behavior or actions.

    Don't ask a leading question when a negative answer is not an option.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Asking a leading question means phrasing a question in a way that suggests or prompts a particular answer. When a negative answer is not an option, asking a leading question can be inappropriate or misleading. This is because the question is designed to guide the respondent towards a specific answer, which may not accurately reflect their true opinion or perspective. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid asking leading questions when a negative answer is not possible.

    A. False
    Explanation

Young children may have difficulty understanding complex instructions with too many details. Therefore, it is more effective to provide clear and straightforward directives to younger children.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Using "inside we walk, outside you may run" instead of "NO RUNNING"  when speaking to a child is one way to;

    • Give choices

    • Be positive

    • Keekee

    • Be negative

    Correct Answer
    A. Be positive
    Explanation
    Using "inside we walk, outside you may run" instead of "NO RUNNING" when speaking to a child is one way to be positive. By framing the instruction in a positive manner, it encourages the child to focus on the desired behavior rather than the prohibited action. It promotes a more optimistic and constructive approach to communication, fostering a positive environment and mindset.

    Rate this question:

    Behavior management is about being in complete control. One way to do this is to keep the child guessing. When you speak to a child, make sure you always leave the discussion open.

    • True

    • False

    A. False
    Explanation

Keeping a child guessing and leaving discussions open does not promote effective behavior management, as it can lead to confusion and lack of clear expectations. Effective behavior management involves setting clear boundaries, providing consistent consequences, and promoting open communication and understanding. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
