Practice Question
A nurse is teaching the guardian of a newborn about how to prepare their 3-year-old child to meet their new sibling. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"Provide a doll for your 3-year-old child to imitate parental behaviors."
Rationale:
🧸 At 3 years of age, children are in the preoperational stage of development, marked by symbolic play and imitation.
🧸 Providing a doll allows the child to practice caregiving behaviors they observe in parents, easing the transition into becoming an older sibling.
🧸 This strategy helps address feelings of displacement, promotes emotional bonding, and fosters a sense of inclusion during family changes.
🧸 It's also developmentally appropriate for managing anticipation and anxiety.
