Paper 2 · socialisation and family roles
Which of the following is identified as a measure that can be used to curb wayward behaviour among children at home?
AIgnoring the child's behaviour and hoping it improves without any intervention.
BCounselling children who misbehave and enforcing household rules.
CPublicly shaming the child in front of neighbours and relatives.
DWithdrawing parental guidance until the child reaches adulthood.
Explanation: Counselling a misbehaving child and enforcing household rules are active steps a parent takes to correct behaviour. Ignoring the behaviour, publicly shaming the child, or withdrawing guidance altogether are not corrective measures; they either do nothing or risk making the behaviour worse.
