B. "My child has recently lost both front top teeth."
C. "My child often cheats when we play board games."
D. "Sometimes my child acts bossy with his friends." - A. "The teacher says my child has to squint to see the board." Rationale: Squinting to see the board can indicate a vision problem. It is essential to assess children for hearing and vision problems. If not caught early, they lead to frustration and decreased ability to learn.

B. Tell the child it is candy.
C. Hide the medication in a large dish of ice cream.
D. Tell the child he will have to have a shot instead. - A. Offer the child a choice of taking the medication with juice or water.

A. "It is expected for children who are hospitalized to regress. The toileting skills will return when your child is feeling better."
B. "I know this can really be embarrassing. I have kids myself, so I understand, and it doesn't bother me."

D. "Why does it bother you that your child has wet the bed?" - A. "It is expected for children who are hospitalized to regress. The toileting skills will return when your child is feeling better."
