Title: You told your parents that your 8-year-old son really wants a particular video game for his birthday
Post by: Kellman on May 31, 2015
You told your parents that your 8-year-old son really wants a particular video game for his birthday. When he opens their gift you realize that they must have forgotten because they gave him a new pair of sneakers instead. Based on what you know of emotional regulation in middle childhood, what is your son’s likely response?
a.   He conceals his true feelings of disappointment because he does not want to hurt his grandparents’ feelings.
b.   He begins to cry in disappointment, which makes your parents feel horrible.
c.   He reacts angrily and throws the gift down and runs to his room.
d.   He laughs and yells out, “You are kidding, right?”
