Isabela · Answer 1

B. Bribing a child is okay if used judiciously in critical situations.

Explanation:

Bribing children is destructive and wrong in any situation. Bribing children discourages them from cooperating simply because of ease and harmony. This type of exchange can become a slippery slope and, if used often, parents will always have to negotiate. Example: "No! I won't clean my room unless you buy me Legos! "

The child must understand that a right thing must be done because it is the right behavior to adopt.

Erickson · Answer 2

Im pretty sure the answer is D because you don't want to abuse your child and if you take it a little too far it might scar them for life. When I was 6 or 7 one of my teachers yelled at me a little too hard and I might never forget.
