Question

Mark and Karen found out they were pregnant with twins. Darla was concerned, but thankfully Daniel earned his degree in child development and was able to ease her with answers regarding their children. Now the twins (Daniel and Darla) are almost 2, and Karen is returning to work. Karen is still worried about what that will do to the twins development.

Karen discusses this with Mark one night, and he brings up a the tips for establishing healthy eating habits that he learned during his developmental degree. Mark tells Karen that she should try to remember that _ (blank) _ varies, but that there are no _ (blank) _.

c. What are the two tips he provided to Karen?

e. Karen overhears Darla tell Daniel that her doll can't go with her to daycare because it's tired from being up all night. At first Karen thinks Darla must be playing with her toys when she should be sleeping, but remembers that it could be _ (blank) _ instead.
