question 82

Essay

Three-year-old Olivia has difficulty being quiet during story time at her preschool. When walking with her peers to the bathroom or to the gym for recess, Oliva tends to walk next to or ahead of her classmates, despite being asked to walk in a straight line. She often touches things on the wall, such as posters, classroom art, or announcements. Oliva especially has trouble focusing on tasks organized by adults. Both at home and at school, Olivia tends to play with one toy-a doll that you can feed and change. She always requests that toy and is hesitant to try playing with something else. Olivia's parents call her "Silly Sue" because once she starts laughing, she can't stop. Sometimes she'll giggle off and on for thirty minutes straight. Based on the examples given, which two terms best describe Olivia's behavior? Should her parents and teacher be concerned? Why or why not?
