A is good too, but I feel like B is more interactive.

Really? I doubt any of these will stop her from knocking stuff over.

Keeping hands in pockets? That sounds a bit extreme!

Keeping her hands in her pockets seems too restrictive. I wonder if that would really help her learn to behave better in the store.

I practiced a similar question where we had to choose between redirecting attention or teaching a new skill. I think option B makes sense since it involves her actively participating.

I'm not sure about the best option here. I feel like pushing the cart might just lead to more accidents.

I remember discussing alternative behaviors in class, and I think teaching her to hold her dad's hand could help keep her focused.

I'm not feeling super confident about this one. The options all seem kind of similar, and I'm not sure which one would be the most effective. I guess I'll just have to make my best guess and hope for the best.

Okay, I've got this! The best option is clearly D - having Sally hold her dad's hand while shopping and getting to let go when she's quiet. That way, she has a clear alternative behavior to focus on, and it reinforces being calm and quiet in the store.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The options seem pretty similar, and I'm not sure which one would be the most effective at teaching Sally an alternative behavior. I'll have to think it through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about teaching an alternative behavior to reduce a problem behavior. I think I'll carefully consider each option and choose the one that best addresses the issue of Sally knocking over cans.

Haha, I can just imagine Sally knocking over cans and making a big ruckus. Option D is definitely the way to go - it's like a leash, but for a shopping cart instead of a dog!

Option C is a bit too restrictive. Sally needs to be able to interact with the environment, just in a controlled way. D seems like the most practical and positive solution.

I think option D could also work well. Holding dad's hand while shopping and getting to let go when quiet can help Sally stay focused and avoid making loud noises.

I think option D is the best choice. Holding her dad's hand will keep her hands busy and give her a sense of security, while also allowing her to let go when she's being quiet. It's a win-win!
