Scenario

You are a director of a preschool center, where the majority of children and families served currently live below the poverty threshold. In a team meeting about a child named Aidan—who has challenging behaviors, such as kicking and biting—you hear one of the teachers, Mr. Paul, say, “I think Aidan’s behavior stems from a lack of attention and positive interactions at home.” Everyone on the team shares the knowledge that Aidan lives in poverty and comes from a single-parent home. The team is also aware the Aidan’s father not only works two jobs, but has shared that he struggles with depression. Use this scenario for Items 1 and 2.
