question 17 of 20
which of the following activities supports social and emotional development in toddlers?
placing a child in \time out\ to think about their behavior
using redirection to help end tantrums
rewarding children who win at games
responding to children’s cooing and babbling

Explanation:

1. For mathematical thinking: Direction/positional words build spatial awareness; counting objects develops number sense; subtraction BINGO practices arithmetic; dramatic play applies geometry—all support mathematical skills.
2. For social-emotional development: Redirection teaches emotional regulation; responding to babbling fosters secure attachment and communication, both key for social-emotional growth. Time-out may not support development positively, and rewarding winners can hinder teamwork/self-esteem.

Answer:

1. All options (Learning direction and positional words during a game of "Simon Says", Practicing counting up to ten by pointing to objects, Playing "Subtraction BINGO" to practice arithmetic, Using dramatic play scenarios to apply the knowledge of geometrical concepts)
2. Using redirection to help end tantrums, Responding to children’s cooing and babbling
