Question 1

Factors impacting milestone attainment are:&#10;A) Non-existent-all children meet milestones within the same timeframe&#10;B) Language, socio-economics, family, health&#10;C) Based on the year the child is born&#10;D) Climate and environment related

Accepted Answer

Language, socio-economics, family, and health are all known factors that can impact a child's ability to achieve developmental milestones. These factors can include things like exposure to language, access to resources, family support and stability, and physical health. While climate and environment can play a role in some cases, they are not considered primary factors in milestone attainment. Additionally, there is no set year or timeframe for when children should achieve specific milestones, so option C is not accurate either.

Question 2

Clinical mental health counselors and school counselors must keep what in mind when working with children?&#10;A) Cost of services provided&#10;B) Parameters of the work setting&#10;C) Eating preferences&#10;D) Insurance coverage

Accepted Answer

When working with children, both clinical mental health counselors and school counselors must keep in mind the parameters of their work setting such as school policies, confidentiality requirements, and mandated reporting laws. Cost of services, insurance coverage, and eating preferences are not as relevant to their work with children.

Question 3

Prosocial behaviors support building:&#10;A) Positive relationships with others&#10;B) Decision-making skills&#10;C) Academic skills&#10;D) Career selection

Accepted Answer

Prosocial behaviors are actions that promote the well-being of others, and when we engage in these behaviors, we create positive relationships with those around us. This can lead to increased feelings of connectedness, belonging, and support, which are essential components of social and emotional well-being. While prosocial behaviors can indirectly support academic and career success by fostering positive relationships and developing interpersonal skills, they are most directly related to building positive relationships with others.

Question 4

During this age, children may be:&#10;A) Abstract thinkers&#10;B) Immune to childhood diseases and disorders&#10;C) Diagnosed with childhood diseases and disorders&#10;D) Gaining full independence

Accepted Answer

Children during this age range may still be susceptible to childhood diseases and disorders such as chickenpox, measles, autism, ADHD, and others. It is important for parents and caregivers to monitor their health and seek medical attention if necessary. Abstract thinking, gaining independence, and immunity to childhood diseases typically occur later in development.

Question 5

Children between four to six years old enjoy learning through:&#10;A) Lectures&#10;B) Nothing&#10;C) Playing&#10;D) Writing

Accepted Answer

Children between four to six years old enjoy learning through playing. It is an age where play and exploration are essential for their cognitive and physical development. Learning through play allows them to learn and practice important social, emotional, and cognitive skills. Lectures and writing are not appropriate for this age group, and children may not enjoy them. Choosing "Nothing" would not be a valid answer as all children have an innate drive to learn and explore, regardless of their age.
