The parents of a 2-year-old girl are frustrated by the frequent confrontations they have with their child. Which is the best anticipatory guidance the nurse can offer them?
A) "Respond in a calm but firm manner.".
B) "You need to adhere to various routines.".
C) "Put her in time-out when she misbehaves.".
D) "It's important to toddler-proof your home.".
B
Feedback:
Making expectations known through everyday routines helps to avoid confrontations. This helps the child know what to expect and how to behave. It is the best guidance to give these parents. Calm response and time-out are effective ways to discipline, but do not help to prevent confrontations. Toddler-proofing the house doesn't eliminate all the opportunities for confrontation.
