Question 1 of 10

You and your five-year-old daughter are having a play date at a friend's house. When asked what she wants for lunch, your shy daughter lowers her head and refuses to answer. What do you do?

Command her to answer the question immediately, or she is going home.
Speak for your daughter, telling the host what she likes and explaining that she is just shy.
Ask your daughter to answer the question. She says nothing. When you ask again, she remains silent. Exasperated, you tell the host what your daughter likes to eat, allowing her to remain silent.
Squatting down to your daughter's eye level, you talk her through the situation, helping her answer the question on her own.
