Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children learn through observation and imitation. Therefore, if a parent consistently responds to frustration without aggression in front of their child, the child is more likely to learn and model the same behavior. Option A is not recommended as releasing pent-up frustration immediately may involve aggression, and this behavior may be imitated by the child. Option B is not recommended because it is unrealistic and potentially harmful to suppress emotions entirely. Option C is not recommended as telling children to do something that they do not see their parents doing is not effective in shaping behavior.
