A nurse should instruct the parents of a 10-year-old child to keep which of the following theoretical principles in mind when dealing with a behavioural problem at home?

A) Strategies that worked well with the first child will be equally as effective for the second child.
B) Encourage the child to volunteer some time at a local hospital to instill a sense of fulfillment.
C) Bargaining about chores in exchange for privileges may be an effective method of encouraging helpful activities.
D) Do not offer praise for accomplishments and punishment for behavioural issues.

In the concrete operations period,children begin to cooperate and share new information about the acts they perform.Parents can adjust their approaches to guide the child into helpful activities within the home,such as bargaining about chores in exchange for privileges.With the birth of a second child,most parents find that the strategies that worked well with the first child no longer work at all.After birth,children grow according to their genetic blueprint and gain skills in an orderly manner,but each at an individual pace.The need for a sense of fulfillment is usually experienced by middle-aged adults,not children.School-aged children need praise to discourage a sense of inferiority;providing praise is the best choice for encouraging positive behaviours while nurturing growth and development.
