A) Teach the child how to count.
B) Allow the child to make simple decisions.
C) Give the child small household chores to do.
D) Urge the child to put on clothes independently.
B
Feedback:
To develop a sense of autonomy is to develop a sense of independence. A healthy level of autonomy is achieved when parents are able to balance independence with consistently sound rules for safety. Allowing the child to make simple decisions helps the child achieve autonomy in a safe setting. Teaching how to count will not help develop autonomy in the child. Providing the child with chores will not develop autonomy. The child is not developmentally prepared to be able to put on clothes independently.
