The purpose of a home visit is to:


A. see if the child's family lives in an acceptable neighborhood.

B. understand the interactions that go on at home between the child and the family.
C. compare the child's actions with those of brothers and sisters.

D. determine the income level of the child's family.

I'll be glad to check your answer.

B is the best of the four choices. I looked for other things also: books and reading material available, or is it TV home; attitudes of the family toward the teacher and education; and to get an overall impression of the child's home environment as it relates to learning new things associated with words and ideas.

thanks that's what i was thinking it was

The purpose of a home visit is to understand the interactions that go on at home between the child and the family (Option B). A home visit provides an opportunity for educators, social workers, or other professionals to visit a child's home and observe how the child and their family interact in their natural environment. This can provide valuable insight into the child's home life and support a holistic understanding of their development and well-being.

To arrive at this answer, you can apply logical reasoning and eliminate the other options. Option A, seeing if the child's family lives in an acceptable neighborhood, may involve external assessments but is not directly related to understanding the child's interactions at home. Option C, comparing the child's actions with those of siblings, is more specific and limited than the broader aim of understanding interactions at home. Lastly, Option D, determining the income level of the child's family, is a separate assessment that may be relevant but not the primary purpose of a home visit.
