Question

To help a child who's unhappy because she wants a toy, you can make all of these statements, except A. "When the timer goes off, you'll have a turn." B. "Would you like to play with another toy while you wait for your turn?" C. "We don't have time right now, but tomorrow I'll put your name down to go first. Would you like that?" D. "Too bad, there's no time for you to play with that toy right now."

Answer 1

You could do all except D! (: With children it's best to give them some sort of explanation, they may be small but they do have a good understanding of things. "Too bad, there's no time for you to play with that toy right now" sounds rude even to an adult, and children can pick up on it. You have to be quite patient when working with, watching, or raising children. Without an explanation, or even a simple," Not right now, you have to eat" or something, even if it's something just to occupy their time - they're sure to throw a fit and be quite the unhappy child. I hope all is well, and you pass! Good luck, rockstar! (:
