Explanation:
1. A child of this age will not just learn to fall asleep on her own if left alone. Letting the child cry for an extended period of time can affect attachment issues.
2. Having a television in a 2-year-old child's room is not a healthy practice. This can lead to decreased physical activity.
3. Developing a quiet routine just before bedtime can help calm the child and give an expectation to what will happen next: going to bed.
4. Letting the child fall asleep while playing is not healthy, as it allows the child to get to the point of exhaustion without any limits set.
