Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to developmental milestones, the typical "run" of a two-year-old is not yet fully developed, as they tend to move stiffly and not get much air time. It is more like a hurried walk. Option B is incorrect because a two-year-old's run is not quite similar to that of a five- or six-year-old child. Option C is also incorrect as a two-year-old's run is not yet fully coordinated with the arms, legs, and feet. Option A is not entirely accurate, as falls at this age can cause injury, but it is not something that should be discouraged entirely.
