A. unsafe play that should be discouraged.
B. creative play that should be encouraged.
C. suggestive of limited family resources.

The best approach for effective communication with a preschooler is through
A. speech.
B. play.
C. drawing.
D. actions. Correct Answer B. play.
Preschoolers' most effective means of communication is through play. Play allows preschoolers to understand, adjust to, and work out life's experiences through their imagination and ability to invent and imitate. Speech is not effective, because preschoolers assume that everyone thinks as they do and that a brief explanation of their thinking makes them understood by others, which is often not true. Also, preschoolers often do not understand the meaning of words and often take statements literally. Drawing is still being developed as a fine motor skill; therefore, it is not the most effective means of communication. Actions are not an appropriate means of communication for a preschooler.

A. a well-defined body boundary.
B. knowledge about his or her internal anatomy.

D. fear of looking different from his or her friends. Correct Answer C. fear of intrusive procedures.
Preschoolers fear that their insides will come out with intrusive procedures. Preschoolers have poorly defined body images. Preschoolers have little or no knowledge of their internal anatomy. The fear of looking different is a concept that occurs in later school-aged children and adolescents.
