A school nurse is working with a group of teachers to help them address the developmental needs of preschool students
The nurse tells the group that preschool-age children are experiencing the stage of initiative versus guilt described in Erikson's theory. Which activity should the nurse suggest to foster development at this stage?
A) Providing time for running and playing sports, such as basketball, to increase gross motor skills
B) Helping them develop skills needed in the adult world, such as allowance budgeting
C) Allowing "pretend" time during their classes, such as dress-up or role-playing activities
D) Presenting diversity in culture and practices as part of classroom study
Answer: C
Preschool-aged children should be given activities that focus on gross motor skills as well as make-believe and pretend opportunities. School-age children are motivated by activities that provide a sense of worth. They concentrate on mastering skills that will help them function in the adult world. Understanding diversity, role preference, and performance is the task of the adolescent.
