Answer 1

The right option is; encourage selective and sustained attention

Children whose parents encourage selective and sustained attention typically do well in delaying gratification.

Selective attention is a type of attention which involves the ability to concentrate on one certain task for a long period of time without deflecting. Selective attention is very hard to achieve and it is useful while sustained attention involves the ability to choose from many conditions and to concentrate on only the one that you want while eliminating distractions.
