The answer is C.

To determine the correct answer to this question, we need to carefully read each option and understand the concept being discussed. The question asks about a consistent approach to guidance. Let's break down each option:

A. all children should be expected to reach the four goals of guidance.
This option suggests that all children must achieve specific goals of guidance. However, this does not necessarily imply a consistent approach. Children may still differ in how they reach those goals.

B. all staff members should deal with misbehavior in the same way.
This option suggests that a consistent approach to guidance means that all staff members should handle misbehavior in the same manner. This implies a uniform approach and consistency in disciplinary actions across the staff.

C. caregivers should be role models for the children to follow.
This option focuses on the role of caregivers as role models for children. While it is important for caregivers to be role models, it does not necessarily determine if their approach to guidance is consistent.

D. no individual differences in children should be considered when applying discipline.
This option suggests that individual differences in children should not be taken into account when applying discipline. However, a consistent approach to guidance should consider individual differences to ensure fairness and to tailor interventions to the needs of each child.

Based on the explanations above, option B appears to be the most suitable. A consistent approach to guidance means that all staff members should deal with misbehavior in the same way.
