A mother brings her 8-year-old son into the clinic for a well-child visit. She is concerned because her son does not take responsibility for completing and handing in his school assignments on time,
 
  and his teacher has given him several warnings for missing homework. Which responses are appropriate for the nurse to this child's mother? (Select all that apply.)
  A.
  A good discipline strategy for this stage of development is a time-out in a specific location, which could include focusing on homework at this time.
  B.
  As a parent, you should refrain from rescuing your child from the consequences of his behaviors and allow him to learn a valuable lesson from them.
  C.
  At 8, children can internalize rules, so it's important to allow him to be responsible for his actions and to accept the consequences of his behavior.
  D.
  Eight-year-old children are not ready to accept the consequences of their actions and need to be constantly reminded of their responsibilities.
  E.
  Natural consequences are important, and removing privileges, especially time with friends, is often a successful technique at this age.

ANS: B, C
Because the child in this stage of development is beginning to internalize rules, it is important to allow the child more independence and, thus, more awareness of the natural consequences of behavior. An effective parenting technique is to refrain from rescuing the child from the consequences of his or her behavior. Time-outs are more appropriate for preschool-age children. Grounding or restricting privileges is a more appropriate discipline measure for a school-age child, and restricting time with friends is a good technique for adolescents.
