The mother of a 2-year-old child tells the nurse she is embarrassed when her child plays with other children because he does not share his toys or even interact with the other children. The nurse's response to the mother is based on the knowledge that a 2-year-old usually engages in which type of play?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
At 2 years, children typically engage in parallel play, playing alongside but not interactively with others, a normal developmental stage that does not involve sharing.
