Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive reinforcement of the mother's attempt to provide care to the newborn will promote a healthy self-concept. The mother needs to learn how to solve problems on her own. Each person may use different techniques that work for that person. Correcting her actions would be discouraging to a new mother. She needs encouragement. Saying everything will be fine is blocking communication and further teaching.
