Question

Two-year-old Rosita goes to the park with her father. She stands by a bench where her father is sitting and watches two children run. Rosita is engaged in ________.

A) nonsocial activity
B) parallel play
C) associative play
D) cooperative play

Answer 1

A) Nonsocial activity.

Nonsocial activity is when a child is not actively involved with other children, but may observe or play independently near them. In this scenario, Rosita is standing by her father and watching other children run, but not actively engaging or interacting with them. Therefore, she is engaged in nonsocial activity.
