The nurse is teaching an athletic father how to stimulate his 7-year-old son who has a 'slow-to-warm-up' temperament. Which guidance will be most successful?
A) Telling him to read stories to the child about famous athletes
B) Suggesting he take the child to watch him play softball
C) Urging him to sign the child up for little league football
D) Proposing wrestling with the child and letting him win
Ans: A
Reading stories to the child would be less active and more acceptable to the child's temperament. Proposing to wrestle with the child and letting him win or signing the child up for little league football would put the child in an uncomfortable situation, as would attending his father's adult activities.
