Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
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, such as rattles, wooden blocks, plastic stacking rings, squeezable stuffed animals, and busy boxes. Infants are not capable of participating in small group activities. By age 4, children play in groups of two or three. For the toddler (not the infant), television, videos, electronic games, and computer programs help support development and learning of basic skills. Adults should provide toys that are safe for the infant to explore with the mouth. Small, plastic letters and magnets could be choking hazards for an infant.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Firm consistent limits, patience, and support allow toddlers to develop socially acceptable behaviors and to cope with the frustration of learning self-control. Rapid development of motor skills allows the child to participate in self-care activities such as feeding, dressing, and toileting. Because children's moral development is closely associated with their cognitive abilities, the moral development of toddlers is only beginning. Toddlers do not understand concepts of right and wrong. 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.
