The "run" of a two-year-old child is generally more of a "hurried walk" because of the stiffness in their legs and the fact that they do not fully lift off the ground. Option A is true but not the MOST accurate statement. Option B is incorrect as the run of a two-year-old is not as developed as a five- or six-year-old. Option C is also not the most accurate as while they may have some coordination, their run is not fully developed.
