When Noah's Dad Gets Home from Work, Noah Runs to Him

question 57

Multiple Choice

When Noah's dad gets home from work, Noah runs to him shouting, "Daddy!" His dad sweeps him up in a bear hug, gives him a gentle knuckle rub on top of his head, then lowers him to the ground in a pretend choke hold. Noah screams with delight, escapes the hold, and climbs on his dad's back to ride him like a horse. Inadvertently, Noah hurt his dad while climbing, and his dad said sternly, "That really hurt. Be nice!" What kind of lesson is Noah's dad teaching him with this rough-and-tumble play bout?
