Answer to Question 1
ANS: A
School-aged children should begin to develop friendships and to socialize with others. Interaction with peers allows them to define their own accomplishments in relation to others as they work to develop a positive self-image. The absence of secondary sex characteristics is a major concern of adolescents, not school-aged children, because physical evidence of maturity encourages the development of masculine and feminine behaviors in the adolescent. Lack of group relationships is also a concern of adolescents, not of school-aged children, because adolescents seek a group identity to fulfill their esteem and acceptance needs. Today many researchers believe that school-aged children have a great deal of curiosity about their sexuality. Some experiment, but this is usually transitory.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: D
A game of kickball would be best suited for school-aged children because in this age group, play involves peers and the pursuit of group goals. Although solitary activities are not eliminated, group play overshadows them. Younger children typically are not able to participate cooperatively in groups yet. Infants begin to play simple social games such as patty-cake and peek-a-boo. Toddlers engage in solitary play but also begin to participate in parallel play. Preschoolers playing together engage in similar if not identical activities; however, no division of labor or rigid organization or rules are observed. By the age of 5, the group has a temporary leader for each activity.
