A nurse is educating the parents of a 4-year-old child during a routine wellness visit. Which of the following statements by the parents indicates a need for further teaching about appropriate activities and development for their child?
We just signed our child up for a structured soccer league to help build teamwork skills.
We’ve been encouraging our child to play make-believe games at home.
We provide opportunities for running and climbing at the park.
The correct answer identifies a misunderstanding in the parents’ knowledge about fostering gross motor and cognitive development in their 4-year-old. At this age, children thrive on activities like running, climbing, and engaging in pretend play, which promote physical and cognitive skills. Team sports, such as soccer, are more appropriate for older children as they require a longer attention span and the ability to follow structured rules. The incorrect options reflect developmentally appropriate activities, such as pretend play and physical activities, that support growth and learning in a 4-year-old child.
