A nurse is teaching a parent of a toddler how to prepare for the arrival of their newborn sibling. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates to the nurse an understanding of the teaching?

A. "I will anticipate that my toddler might demand to have their pacifier again once their sibling is born.": Regression to earlier behaviors, such as wanting a pacifier, is common in toddlers when coping with a new sibling. Anticipating this shows understanding of normal developmental responses to change. B. "I will tell my toddler the baby will be their new playmate.": Toddlers often do not grasp the concept of a baby as a playmate immediately, and this statement may set unrealistic expectations, potentially leading to frustration. C. "I will tell my toddler now about the date their sibling will arrive.": Toddlers have limited sense of time, so discussing exact dates can be confusing and may cause anxiety rather than helpful preparation. D. "I will start sending my toddler to daycare once the baby is born.": While daycare may be necessary, abruptly changing routines immediately after the newborn’s arrival can add stress to the toddler, so gradual transition is preferable.
