11. As a teacher aide, if a child wishes to speak to you about an incident of abuse, what
should you do first?
A. Assure the child that you can help

A. The child will usually be eager to answer your questions.
B. The child is more mature than other children.
C. The child typically forms strong friendships.
D. The child may be quiet and tentative.

For number 11 my answer is either B or C not sure

And 17 either D or C but leaning more to D

11. The kid doesn't need or want to know that child abuse is common! You definitely want to find a quiet place where you and the child can talk.

17. Definitely D.

Rethinking 11. Some school policies may demand that an aide take the child to the nurse's or counselor's office. However, the way the laws are written in many schools and states, all school employees are responsible for reporting suspected cases of child abuse. But all personnel must listen to the child first. The child's interpretation of child abuse may be having to go to bed at a set time or doing his homework or cleaning his room. The aide needs to find out a few details before she reports child abuse.

is number 7 and 11 asking the same thing? to me the answers are the same here is number 7

7. If a girl, age 7, approaches you in the classroom and tells you that her mother’s live-in
boyfriend is abusing her, a good way to respond would be to say:
A. “Don’t worry, everything will be just fine.”
B. “Can you tell me how he abused you?”
C. “You can trust me. I won’t tell anyone anything.”
D. “Let’s find a quiet place where we can be comfortable and talk.”

my answer is D

Yes, the answers are the same. In my opinion, both are correct.

Children are (or should be) taught to confide in an adult when they think they are abused. Often the teacher aide is the adult the child is most comfortable with. Therefore, the aide should take the child to a quiet place where s/he can talk freely.

Thanks Ms. Sue for all your help

You're very welcome, Beth.

D is the answer

the Montessori program stresses the importance of

For question 11, "As a teacher aide, if a child wishes to speak to you about an incident of abuse, what should you do first?", let's go through the options to figure out the best response:

A. Assure the child that you can help: This is a good step to take, but it may not be the first thing you should do.

B. Find a quiet place where you can talk uninterrupted: This option is a strong choice because it prioritizes the child's comfort and confidentiality. They may be more open to sharing sensitive information in a quiet and private space.

C. Assure the child that incidents of child abuse are common: This option is not advisable as it may minimize the child's experience or make them feel like their situation is unimportant.

D. Take the child to a school nurse’s or counselor’s office as soon as possible: While it's important to involve professionals who can provide appropriate support, it is not the first step you should take. Building trust with the child and ensuring confidentiality should be prioritized initially.

Considering this, the best response for question 11 would be option B: Find a quiet place where you can talk uninterrupted.

Now let's move on to question 17, "Which of the following best describes a child who has been abused?":

A. The child will usually be eager to answer your questions: This option does not align with the typical behavior of a child who has been abused. They may exhibit reluctance or fear in discussing the abuse.

B. The child is more mature than other children: While it is possible for a child who has been through abuse to display maturity, this is not always the case and may not be the most common characteristic.

C. The child typically forms strong friendships: This option does not necessarily describe a child who has been abused. The child's ability to form friendships can vary and may not be indicative of their abuse history.

D. The child may be quiet and tentative: Given the psychological impact of abuse, this option is the most accurate. Children who have experienced abuse often display withdrawn, quiet, or tentative behaviors.

Considering this, the best response for question 17 would be option D: The child may be quiet and tentative.

I hope this helps clarify your answers for questions 11 and 17! Let me know if you have any more questions.
