a. providing age-appropriate toys and play activities.
b. providing peer experiences, such as scouting, when older.
c. avoiding exposure to strangers who may not understand cognitive development.
d. emphasizing mastery of physical skills because they are delayed more often than verbal skills.
ANS: B
The acquisition of social skills is a complex task. Children of all ages need peer relationships. Parents should enroll the child in preschool. When older, they should have peer experiences similar to those of other children such as group outings, Boy and Girl Scouts, and Special Olympics. It is important to provide age-appropriate toys and play activities, but peer interactions will facilitate social development. Parents should expose the child to strangers so that the child can practice social skills. Verbal skills are delayed more than physical skills.
