Which of the following is not a goal of the caregiver when the child uses verbal aggression? a. protect the self-esteem of the child who's on the receiving end of the verbal aggression. b. teach children kinder words to express themselves. c. teach the aggressive child that he or she doesn't have the right to hurt others. d. play with both children until they learn to get along.

D. Play with both children until they learn to get along.

Playing with both children until they learn to get along does not teach the children anything. The self-esteem of the child who's receiving the verbal aggression is not taken into account. The aggressive child does not learn that his behavior is inappropriate and neither of them learn how to handle the situation. It is important that caregivers do not ignore aggressive behavior and protect both children by teaching them kind words, building self-esteem, and showing that they don't have the right to hurt others.
