Which of the following tactics would not be beneficial to effective communication between an adult and a child?
  1. Physically lowering to be at eye level with the child
  2. Using an authoritarian voice to convey that the child is of lesser status than the adult
  3. Asking the child to repeat what they have learned from the communication
  4. Allowing the child to voice an opinion about the topic at hand
Explanation
Answer: B - Speaking to children in an authoritarian voice to convey that they are of lesser status in the situation is often ineffective. While discipline must have an authoritative tone, a child is likely to interpret any communication in that voice as disciplinary, whether it is or not. Demonstrating to a child that their opinions and feelings are valued is an important step in communicating effectively with them, even in disciplinary situations.
