A 2-year-old boy has come to the well-child clinic with his mother for a checkup. When the nurse asks his mother if she has any concerns, she says, "I don't know why he won't quit touching his ‘privates' all the time
I have tried sitting him in a chair, smacking his hand, and telling him no, but he continues to do this. I just don't know how to make him stop." How would you best respond to her concerns? Choose all that apply.
1) "Give him a little time, and he'll grow out of it. He's just too young to understand right now."
2) "How often do you punish him by giving him a time-out or by using physical discipline?"
3) "Physical punishment is not the best way to modify a child's behavior."
4) "It isn't unusual for him to fondle his genitals, as this is part of his exploration of his body."
ANS: 2, 3, 4
