The parents of two children,ages 7 and 2,are concerned about the language development of their 2-year-old.They tell the health-care worker that their older child began talking in two- or three-word phrases by age 2,but their younger child is still using mostly one-word sentences.The best response by the health-care worker is:

A) "Your child should be evaluated as soon as possible for a language disorder."
B) "First-born children generally have a larger vocabulary and better conversational skills at an earlier age."
C) "Your child will not begin to develop better language skills until she enters preschool."
D) "Make arrangements for your child to attend a day care center to improve language skills."
