ANS: C
Children respond to everyday stress by trying to change the circumstances or adjust to the circumstances the way they are. Strategies that provide relaxation and other stress-reduction techniques should be used. An inappropriate response would be for the parents to solve the problems. Some children develop socially unacceptable strategies such as lying, stealing, or cheating. Learning problem solving, listening to music, and using relaxation techniques are positive approaches for coping in children.
