B) Read the child a story every night.

C
Feedback:
The developmental task of the toddler is to learn autonomy versus shame or doubt. Autonomy comes from the toddler's new motor and mental abilities. Children take pride in the new things they can accomplish, and they want to do everything independently. Pulling a talking duck toy will support the development of autonomy. Doing things such as feeding, reading, and watching television does not foster autonomy in the toddler.
