A 3-year-old girl's mother is 6 months pregnant. What concern is this child likely to verbalize?

a. How the baby will "get out" c. Whether her mother will die
b. What the baby will eat d. What color eyes the baby has


ANS: B
By age 3 or 4, children like to be told the story of their own beginning and accept its comparison 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. 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?" Whether her mother will die does not tend to be the focus of a child's questions about the impending birth of a sibling. The baby's eye color does not tend to be the focus of children's questions about the impending birth of a sibling.
