The father of a 2-year-old finds that he becomes very impatient with his daughter when, night after night, she claims she cannot fall asleep because of a "monster that comes out in the dark." Although each night the father tries to reassure and comfort his daughter, the next morning she does not remember his attempts to reason with her regarding her fear. He should probably
a. try to understand the hidden causes and meaning of his daughter's dreams.
b. give his daughter a reward the following morning if she stayed in bed until falling asleep the night before.
c. realize that, because of her limited intellectual abilities at age 2, she cannot be rationally reasoned with.
d. consider how he can structure his interactions with his daughter to "mentor" her through her fear.
e. recognize that fears of the dark are partly genetic, because they undoubtedly helped our species survive.
