Question

Sasha is four years old. She likes to play with her friends but sometimes they disagree. When this happens, Sasha gets very angry and begins to cry. Her caregiver tries to talk to her, but the crying just gets louder. What would be the MOST effective way to deal with Sasha when she is upset? A. Shout at Sasha to snap her out of it. B. Give Sasha some time by herself to calm down. C. Make Sasha’s friends apologize and do what she wants. D. Call Sasha’s parents and ask them to pick her up.

Answer 1

My answer would be B

Step-by-step explanation:

For option A, shouting at the child could make it worse or hurt her further. Option C is no good either, because that’s spoiling Sasha and letter her get her way at the expense of her friend’s happiness. For D, calling the parents could be an option, but that wouldn’t solve the issue and she might come back to play with her friends, only to get in a fight again and react the same way. The best option is to leave her alone for a while to sort through her feelings and come back with a fresh viewpoint. If this is wrong, I’m so sorry! This is just what I got from my deductions.

Have a great day!
