question 2 of 15

1. why should social skills lessons not be taught at the red arrow moment?

a the aggression has already happened.
b the timing of the lessons negatively impacts the child.
c the lessons could actually reinforce the undesired behavior.
d all of the above

Explanation:

When aggression has already occurred (A), teaching social - skills lessons at that moment might be ineffective as the event is past. The timing (B) can be negative as the child may be in an emotional state (e.g., defensive, upset) that makes learning difficult. Also, if the child associates the lesson with the post - aggression situation (which they may view as a “reward” or at least an attention - getting moment), it could reinforce the undesired behavior (C). So all the reasons (A, B, C) are valid.

Answer:

D. All of the above
