The nurse is providing guidance strategies to a group of parents with toddlers at a community outreach program. Which statement by a parent indicates a correct understanding of the teaching?
a. "I should expect my 24-month-old child to express some signs of readiness for toilet training."
b. "I should be firm and structured when disciplining my 18-month-old child."
c. "I should expect my 12-month-old child to start to develop a fear of darkness and to need a security blanket."
d. "I should expect my 36-month-old child to understand time and proximity of events."
ANS: A
A 24-month-old toddler starts to show readiness for toilet training; it is important for the parent to be aware of this and be ready to start the process. At 18 months of age, a child needs consistent but gentle discipline because the child cannot yet understand firmness and structure with discipline. Development of fears and need for security items usually occurs at the end of the 18- to 24-month stage. A 36-month-old child does not yet understand time and proximity of events, so the parent needs to understand that the toddler cannot "hurry up or we will be late."
