What is the average age at which young children learn to control their own behavior and resist impulses?

12 months
18 months
2 years
3 years

The correct answer is: 2 years

Young children learn to control their own behavior and resist impulses between the ages of 18 months and 2 years. This is when they start to develop self-regulation skills and are able to think about consequences before acting impulsively. Option A is too young, as infants are not yet able to control their impulses. Option B is close, but it is still within the range of 18 months to 2 years. Option D is too old, as most children have developed these skills by the age of 3. Therefore, option C is the most accurate and suitable answer to this question.
