2)Aiden is a difficult 2-year-old whose parents both work long hours for low pay and do not have reliable child-care arrangements.  They sometimes use angry, punitive discipline, and Aiden typically reacts with defiance and disobedience.  His parents respond inconsistently.  Sometimes they reward his noncompliance by giving in to it, but at other times they continue their coercive tactics.
