Question 2
A 2-year-old boy has come to the well-child clinic with his mother for a checkup. When the nurse asks his mother whether she has any concerns, she says, I don't know why he won't quit touching his privates' all the time.
I have tried sitting him in a chair, smacking his hand, and telling him no, but he continues to do this. I just don't know how to make him stop. How would you best respond to her concerns? Select all that apply.
a. Give him a little time, and he'll grow out of it. He's just too young to understand right now.
