During a parenting group meeting, a mother reveals that she has observed her 6-year-old son playing with his penis during his bath. She asks the nurse how she should respond to the situation. What would be the nurse’s most appropriate response（）
A. "Avoid characterizing it as bad because that’s normal at his age. "
B. "If he does it often, you might consider disciplining him. "
C. "Ignore it and hope that he outgrows it. "
D. "Supervise his baths and encourage him to stop doing it. ”
参考答案：A
解析：
Exploring genitalia is normal for a school-age child, and this behavior shouldn’t be characterized as "bad. " Disciplining the child for the behavior may have an adverse affect on his psychosocial development. Instructing the parent to "ignore it and hope that he outgrows it" is subtly implying that the child’s behavior should be of concern if it doesn’t stop by a certain age. Supervising a 6-year-old’s bath won’t foster the child’s initiative, which is the developmental milestone for school-age children.
