Answer to Question 1

D
The preschool child engages in fantasy and magical thinking. The school-age child moves away from this type of thinking and becomes more skeptical and logical. Belief in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny ends in this period of development. The school-age child goes through a period in which profanity and dirty jokes are explored. This behavior is not unusual for the school-age child. The school-age child has a sense of humor. His increased language mastery and increased logic allow for appreciation of plays on words, jokes, and incongruities. The school-age child understands conservation or that properties of objects do not change when their order, form, or appearance does.

Answer to Question 2

D
Team sports are important for the development of sportsmanship and teamwork and for exercise and refinement of motor skills. A coach who emphasizes winning and strict discipline is not appropriate for children in this age group. Team sports such as soccer are appropriate for exercise and refinement of motor skills. School-age children need to participate in physical activities, which contribute to their physical fitness skills and well-being. Limiting television to 2 hours a day is an appropriate restriction. School-age children should be encouraged to participate in physical activities.
