The nurse is teaching discipline strategies to the parents of a 4-year-old boy. Which response by the parents indicates a need for more teaching?
A) "We should remove temptations that lead to bad behavior.".
B) "We need to explain how we expect him to behave.".
C) "We should tell him we get angry when he's bad.".
D) "We must praise the child for good behavior.".
C
Feedback:
Telling the child that the parents get angry when he is bad would be inappropriate. This response indicates the need to restate that it is important to let the child know that it is not him but rather his behavior that is bad. Removing temptations, setting expectations, and praising good behavior are important concepts the parents need to learn.
