Answer 1

i think the answer would be c

Answer 2

D. Play with both children until they learn to get along.

Playing with both children until they learn to get along does not teach the children anything. The self-esteem of the child who's receiving the verbal aggression is not taken into account. The aggressive child does not learn that his behavior is inappropriate and neither of them learn how to handle the situation. It is important that caregivers do not ignore aggressive behavior and protect both children by teaching them kind words, building self-esteem, and showing that they don't have the right to hurt others.
