A 3-year-old girl's mother is 6 months pregnant. Which of the following concerns is this young girl likely to verbalize?
1. How the baby will "get out"
2. What the baby eats
3. Whether her mother will die
4. What color eyes the baby has
2
1. Incorrect. School-age children take a more clinical interest in their mother's pregnancy and may want to know, "How did the baby get in there?" and "How will it get out?"
2. Correct. By age 3 or 4, children like to be told the story of their own beginning and accept it being compared with the present pregnancy. They like to listen to the fetal heartbeat and feel the baby move. Sometimes they worry about how the baby is being fed and what it wears.
3, 4. Incorrect. This does not tend to be the focus of children's inquisition regarding the impend-ing birth of a sibling.
