Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A 12-month-old child is able to pull to a stand and walk holding on or independently. Appropriate toys for this age child include large pushpull toys for kinetic stimulation. A cradle gym should not be placed across the crib. Finger paints are appropriate for older children. A 12-month-old child does not have the stability to use a stick horse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Beginning at about age 10 months, an infant is able to ascribe meaning to the words mama and dada. Four to 6 months is too young for this behavior to develop. At 14 months, the child should be able to attach meaning to these words. By age 1 year, the child can say three to five words with meaning and understand as many as 100 words.
