Answer to Question 1
4. Helping them develop skills needed in the adult world, like allowance budgeting
Rationale:
School-age children are motivated by activities that provide a sense of worth. They concentrate on mastering skills that will help them function in the adult world. Gross motor skills should be the focus of the preschool child, as should make-believe and pretend opportunities. Understanding diversity, role preference, and performance is the task of the adolescent.
Answer to Question 2
3. Pulling the child to a sitting position and propping the child in a sitting position
Rationale:
The infant at 6 months should have head control and is working on sitting without support. Pulling the child to a sitting position allows the neck muscles to support the head. Propping the child in a sitting position helps to develop self-righting behaviors. It is too early to worry about standing. Talking to the child promotes language development, not gross motor development. Handling a rattle is fine-motor behavior, not gross motor behavior.
