B) This is parallel play and is expected.
C) This is premature play and should be stopped.
D) This is adjacent play and is only seen in school-age children.
B
Feedback:
All during the toddler period, children play beside children next to them, not with them. This side-by-side play called parallel play is not unfriendly but is a normal developmental sequence that occurs during the toddler period. This is not peer, adjacent, or premature play. This behavior is not abnormal, does not need to be stopped, and is not seen in school-age children.
