Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. The preschool-aged child may believe they are the cause, not the parent.
B Incorrect. The preschool-aged child is more likely to believe they are the cause of the divorce than that God is punishing the family.
C Correct. With their magical thinking, preschoolers may believe their angry thoughts or behaviors led to the family disruption, and they may also believe they can magically reunite the divorced parents.
D Incorrect. Not out of the question, but not age appropriate for preschooler.

Answer to Question 2

B
Children continue to use a car seat or a booster seat at this age. Accidents remain the major cause of death and disability at this age. Any person riding a bike should wear a helmet. Preschoolers should never be given a potentially dangerous item to carry.
