Which of the following is a primary goal of a home visit?

• A. To discipline the child.
• B. To learn about family goals for the child.
• C. To assign homework.
• D. To evaluate school curriculum.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is family-centered collaboration during home visits. A home visit aims to learn about the family’s goals for the child, including priorities, routines, strengths, and concerns, so the support offered can be aligned with what matters most to the family. This approach builds trust, respects the family’s priorities, and helps tailor activities and guidance to fit the child’s real life at home and in the community.

Disciplining the child isn’t the focus of a home visit; that’s more about behavior management within the family or school setting, and it can undermine trust. Assigning homework is a school-based task and not the purpose of visiting families at home. Evaluating the school curriculum is an educational system function, not something targeted at understanding family goals during a home visit.
