Julianna, a teacher of young toddlers, and three-year-old Tessa are playing with toy trucks. Which of

the following statements made by Julianna would be an example of parallel talk?
A. I'm driving my blue truck around and around.
B. Do you want the blue truck or the red truck?
C. Today we are going to have pears for lunch.
D. What color is your truck?

my answer is a.

Yes, A.

Your answer is correct. Statement A, "I'm driving my blue truck around and around," is an example of parallel talk. Parallel talk involves narrating or describing the child's actions or experiences, reflecting what the child is doing or saying. In this case, Julianna is mirroring Tessa's action of driving the toy truck and describing her own experience with it. This helps develop the child's language skills and connects their actions with verbal descriptions. Well done!
