A nurse is providing anticipatory guidance about child development to the parents of a toddler. Which of the following developmental tasks should the nurse include as expected of a toddler?

The correct answer is A: Cooperates in doing simple chores. Toddlers around the age of 2-3 years start to show interest in imitating adults and participating in simple household tasks like putting toys away. This behavior signifies their growing independence and development of basic motor skills. Choices B, C, and D are not typically expected developmental tasks of a toddler. Toddlers often experience separation anxiety and have limited understanding of complex concepts like right and wrong or printing letters and numbers. Therefore, the ability to cooperate in doing simple chores aligns more with age-appropriate toddler development.
