Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
During toddlerhood, the child begins to participate in parallel play, which is playing beside rather than with another child. Peer pressure is seen with the school-age child. A fear of the preschool child is bodily harm. The preschool child may have imaginary playmates.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
The Babinski reflex is a normal reflex found in a 6-month-old infant. The Moro reflex is seen in the newborn. The startle reflex is seen in the newborn. Before 6 months of age, the extrusion re-flex causes food to be pushed out of the mouth. It is normally present from birth to 4 months.
