When working with the parents of school-age children about ways to foster development of the child and family, which of the following would the nurse address?
A) Need for understanding about good luck rituals
B) Importance of peer group identity
C) Possible difficulties with role confusion
D) Significance of allowing the child to be creative
Ans: A
Feedback:
During the school-age period, children have many fears and may use phobias and ritualistic "good luck" behaviors as adaptive mechanisms. Parents and significant others need to understand these behaviors rather than deny them to foster development. Peer group identity and role confusion are areas of concern for adolescents. The preschool years are crucial for the development of initiative. Stable family relationships can enhance the development of creativity to foster the child's ability to begin to act independently.
