An 11-year-old child is scheduled for a yearly physical examination. The accompanying parent expresses concern because the child “seems all wrapped up in the soccer teammates and other peers, leaving very little time for the family.” Using Havighurst’s developmental tasks, what would be the nurse’s best response?

 1. “This is somewhat unusual. Are there problems that we need to discuss?”

2. “Although this is normal for 11-year-olds, this transition can be difficult for families.”

 3. “Become involved in her life and insist that she set aside time for the family.”

 4. “This is normal development. You need to let her grow up.”
