Physical examination results are normal for a 2-year-old girl during a health supervision visit. She follows two-step commands, speaks 10 words, points to pictures that you name, and sorts objects by color. She uses a spoon well, but does not use a fork. She plays alongside other children but does not share toys. Her mother would like to know if she should be concerned about the girl's development. Of the following, your BEST response is that her daughter: • Has normal development • Is delayed in her expressive language skills • Is delayed in her fine motor skills • Likely has a hearing impairment • Needs more social interaction with other children
