Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
During infancy, play is a meaningful set of activities through which the child interacts with the environment and relates to others. Play provides opportunities for development of cognitive, social, and motor skills. Much of infant play is exploratory as infants use their senses to observe and examine their own bodies and objects of interest in their surroundings. Adults facilitate infant learning by planning activities that promote the development of milestones and by providing toys that are safe for the infant to explore with the mouth and manipulate with the hands.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Play can enhance cognitive and psychosocial development. The toddler's curiosity is evident in his or her exploration of the environment. Children strive for independence. Their strong wills are frequently exhibited in negative behavior when caregivers attempt to direct their actions. Temper tantrums result when parental restrictions frustrate toddlers. Parents need to provide toddlers with graded independence, allowing them to do things that do not result in harm to themselves or others.
