Email: assignmentsamurai@gmail.com     A 3-year-old toddler is able to stack 7–8 blocks into a tower but is unable to combine 2 words into a simple sentence. What is the most appropriate response regarding the child’s development? Group of answer choices
  • Recommend a developmental evaluation as this may indicate a delay in language milestones.
  • Reassure that this is all within normal developmental limits.
  • Encourage additional interactive play techniques since this demonstrates advanced development.
  • Advise on interventions for delayed motor development, as block stacking should be mastered by now.
  The correct answer is: Recommend a developmental evaluation as this may indicate a delay in language milestones.   Explanation: By age 3, most children are expected to use 2-3 word phrases or simple sentences. While stacking 7–8 blocks demonstrates appropriate (even slightly advanced) fine motor skills, the inability to combine two words suggests a potential language delay, and it is appropriate to recommend further evaluation.
