While planning care for a 7-year-old patient, the nurse reminds the parents that children at this age are experiencing the "eraser" year. What does this mean?
A) The child wants to perform well.
B) The child believes in magical thinking.
C) The child is learning to write during this year.
D) The child tends to "erase" misdeeds or lie excessively.
A
Feedback:
Seven-year-olds concentrate on fine motor skills, and this year has been called the "eraser" year because children are never quite content with what they have done. They set too high a standard for themselves and then have difficulty performing at that level. Toddlers believe in magical thinking. The child has already learned how to write. The eraser year does not mean that the child is erasing misdeeds or lying.
