    Hi @ericaday515, Happy to help! Answer choice (A) is incorrect because it only addresses one aspect of the child psychologists' beliefs. We learn that many child psychologists believe that this practice damages a child's self-esteem AND that damage to a child's self-esteem makes them less confident as adults. While the child psychologists may be incorrect in concluding that this practice causes damage to children's self-esteem, making them less confident adults, this does not necessarily mean that their beliefs about the consequences of the loss of self-esteem are incorrect. It is possible that the child psychologists incorrectly concluded that this practice would damage children's self-esteem. This does not necessarily mean that damage to a child's self-esteem does not cause them to be less confident in adulthood. Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
