Jimmy, aged two, has just emp
tied, for the second time in day,
the entire lower two shelves of the

the books by way of rearranging
them on the floor.
If you were Jimmy's parents,
what would YOU do?
a. Put the books back in place
and leave two or three unimportant
ones for Jimmy to play with.
b. Slap Jimmy vigorously on the
hands whenever he is caught touch
ing the books.
C. Turn the bookcases toward the
wall for the next six months.
d. Put the books from the lower
two shelves someplace else.
e. Forbid Jimmy to go into the
rooms where the bookcases are.
