In these cultures, children are typically taught to prioritize family needs over their individual needs, and to show deference to their parents and elders.

Question 6

When is requiring a young child to sit still in a designated place for a brief period a good discipline strategy?

Accepted Answer

Requiring a young child to sit still in a designated place for a brief period can be a helpful discipline strategy for children who struggle with impulsivity or hyperactivity. It allows them to calm down and refocus their energy. However, it may not be effective for all children, especially those who do not struggle with impulse control or who find it difficult to sit still for extended periods. It should not be used as the sole discipline strategy for any child and should be paired with positive reinforcement of good behavior.

Question 7

According to the text,an authoritative parent of a very aggressive child with a difficult temperament,who ignores explanations of rules,may _____.

Accepted Answer

An authoritative parent who is finding it difficult to manage an aggressive child who ignores explanations of rules may become more authoritarian. This is because they may feel the need to assert their control and dominance in order to manage the child's behavior. However, it is important to note that becoming too authoritarian may not be effective in the long run, as it can lead to resentment and rebellion from the child. Therefore, it is important for the parent to find a balance between setting boundaries and being responsive to the child's needs.

Question 10

Which of the following is a practice that requires children to sit still in a designated place for a period of time in an effort to reduce undesired behaviors?

Accepted Answer

Time out is a disciplinary technique in which a child is directed to sit in a designated area for a set period of time as a consequence for misbehavior. It is intended to reduce undesired behaviors by removing the child from the environment where the behavior occurred, and providing an opportunity for the child to self-reflect and self-regulate. Corporal punishment involves physical harm and is not an acceptable or effective form of discipline. Reinforcement is a technique used to reinforce positive behaviors, whereas time out is a consequence for negative behaviors.

The comparison is being made with the white majority culture, which is the dominant culture in the United States. Comparing minority cultures to their own cultures would not lead to the conclusion that they are authoritarian, as cultural norms and values vary widely within these groups. Comparing them to traditional Asian cultures may also be misleading, as not all minority groups share the same cultural heritage. The comparison to industrial cultures of Europe may also be inaccurate, as these cultures may not have the same historical and social contexts as minority cultures in the United States.

It is a more accurate description of the relationship between parents and children as opposed to a one-way or theoretical relationship. The terms exponential or quadrupling do not accurately describe the parent-child relationship.
