Primary: Hannah asks for a Lunchbox

(Note: This case study is not in a school setting, but between a parent and child). Hannah, 6 years old, and Mom went to the store to buy a backpack for Hannah. They were in a hurry and had just enough time to pick out the backpack and still get to a doctor's appointment. Mom could afford to buy only a backpack. At the store, Hannah started the "Look-Mommy-I-want-that-WHY-can't-I-have-it" game. "Mom, can I get the lunchbox, too?" "No, Hannah. No lunchbox." "But Mom, I want the lunchbox. It's purple, just like my new backpack!" "Hannah, stop it. No lunchbox." "Why, Mom?"

This assignment asks you to apply positive guidance strategies to a situation between a determined little girl and her mother.
