Thank you very much for your help-again!
Your answers are correct, except I question your answer for number 6. It's nearly impossible to ignore a temper tantrum when others are being disturbed or in danger of being hit. Temper tantrums are usually an emotional response to a situation that's frustrating for the child. Please check your book for the appropriate answer to this question.
