Answer:

stay calm

Step-by-step explanation:

oh and something i have learned is that sometimes in egde if its a response question, you can copy and paste the question in the box and get it right, you might have to put a few little key words also but all in all its a pretty good method.

remain silent after asking a question. Allowing the child to answer more cautiously and spontaneously
