Feedback
A The toddler's cognitive level of development precludes the use of explanations
and morals as a part of discipline.
B Consistent and immediate discipline for toddlers is the most effective approach.
Unless disciplined immediately, the toddler will have difficulty connecting the
discipline with the behavior.
C Discipline for the toddler should be immediate; therefore the family member
caring for the child should provide discipline to the toddler when it is necessary.
D Discipline is required for unacceptable behavior, and the one-spanking-a-day
rule contradicts the concept of a consistent response to inappropriate behavior. In
addition, spanking is an inappropriate method of disciplining a child.
