are a mixture of Spanish and English.

Could have uneven temper
S2: Julie, a preschool child, does not sleep at naptime anymore. She is

changing their clothes. She has started to admonish the younger children,
reminding them of "the rules." She does not yet reliably count to ten, getting
scrambled with random "teens."
- Correct Answer - Even temperament
S3: Teddy, a toddler, can stand and can walk while holding onto an adult's
fingers. He recognizes and responds to his own name about half of the
time, but cannot hear well. He can babble, but has not yet said his first
really intelligible word. He gets very focused when he plays with blocks and
cups. He is still drinking from a bottle, and does not yet have the hang of a
sippy-cup.
- Correct Answer - Special needs (hearing loss)
Delayed (still on bottle)
