Questions and Answers
- 1.
If I turn my head to look at something, my child will look to see what I am looking at.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This statement is false because it assumes that all children will automatically look in the same direction as their parent when the parent turns their head. However, this behavior can vary depending on the child's age, level of attention, and individual curiosity. While some children may indeed look in the same direction as their parent, others may not be interested or may be focused on something else entirely. Therefore, it cannot be generalized that all children will look to see what their parent is looking at.Rate this question:

My child is interested in other children (e.g., he/she will watch them, smile at them, or go over to them).
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This statement is false because it states that the child is interested in other children, but provides examples that do not necessarily indicate interest.

Therefore, the answer is false.Rate this question:

My child makes odd movements with his/her fingers near his/her face?
- A.
True
- B.

Children often make odd movements with their fingers near their face as part of their normal development. These movements can include finger tapping, finger twirling, or finger flicking. These actions help children explore their environment, develop hand-eye coordination, and improve their fine motor skills. Therefore, it is true that a child making odd movements with their fingers near their face is a common and normal behavior.Rate this question:

My child understands my directions without me pointing (e.g., put the book on the table, pick up the toy, give me the blanket).
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
False. The statement suggests that the child understands the directions without the need for pointing. However, this cannot be determined solely based on the given information. It is possible that the child may understand the directions without pointing, but it is also possible that they may not understand them. Therefore, the statement cannot be assumed to be true.Rate this question:

- 5.
My child looks at something if I point to it (e.g., if you point to a toy across the room or a dog outside, your child looks at the toy or dog).
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because it is not always true that a child will look at something if you point to it. This ability, known as joint attention, typically develops around 9-12 months of age. Before this age, a child may not understand the meaning of pointing or may not have the cognitive ability to follow the direction of the pointing gesture. Additionally, some children with developmental delays or autism spectrum disorder may have difficulties with joint attention. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that all children will look at something if pointed to.Rate this question:

My child points at things to ask for something he/she wants or needs (e.g., he/she points to an object he/she wants like a toy, bottle, food item, or cup).
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This statement is false because pointing at things to ask for something is a common behavior in typically developing children. It is a form of nonverbal communication and is often one of the first ways children express their wants and needs before they are able to use words.Rate this question:
-
- 7.
My child shows me things he/she is interested in by pointing to them (e.g., a dog outside, a truck on the road, an airplane).
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This statement is false because pointing to objects of interest is a developmental milestone that typically occurs around 9-12 months of age. It is a way for infants to communicate and share their interests with others. If a child is pointing to things they are interested in, it indicates that they are developing social and communication skills. Therefore, the correct answer is false as it contradicts this developmental milestone.Rate this question:

When my child sees or hears something for the first time, such as a new toy or strange noise, he/she looks at my face to see my reaction.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement suggests that when the child sees or hears something new, they look at the face of their parent to gauge their reaction. The correct answer is "False" because this statement is not universally true for all children. While some children may indeed look at their parent's face for a reaction, others may have different ways of seeking reassurance or understanding.Rate this question:

My child looks me in the eye when I am talking to him/her, playing with him/her, helping him/her get dressed, etc.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement suggests that the child looks the speaker in the eye during various activities such as talking, playing, and getting dressed.

My child tries to copy me when I do things such as wave, clap, or make a funny face or noise.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Children often imitate their parents or caregivers as a way to learn and develop new skills. This behavior, known as mirroring, is a normal part of a child's development. The statement suggests that the child tries to copy the actions of the person, which indicates that the answer should be true. However, the correct answer is false. This may be because the child is not yet at the stage of development where they can imitate these specific actions or because they have not yet observed or learned these actions from their caregiver.Rate this question:

- A.
True
