To a child reluctant to leave his mom, you can make all of these statements, except, a. "would you like to look at your picture book to you not miss your mom? " b. "stop crying and go play." c. "it makes you sad when your mom has to go to work, doesn't it? " d. "would you like to go play with your friends at the dramatic play center? "

B) " Stop crying and go play."  When a child is sad they will be sensitive. Remember, they are just learning about their feelings and won't fully develop control over them until around the age of 31.The best way to address the child is C, because it addresses the emotion. It will both address the situation and serve as a teaching moment for the child. Hope this helps.

B) " Stop crying and go play."

It’s a hope that ; )
