[FinA] Fоur cаmpers аre hiking in the wооds when they lose the trаil. Naomi says, “I can feel my heart racing. What happens if we can’t find our way back before dark?” Another camper, Rana says, “Don’t panic yet. The camp host knows we went on a hike. If we’re not back soon, they’ll send someone to look for us.” Sofie looks at her watch and says, “Rana is right, but if the next shift of camp hosts doesn’t check the logbook, they might not come looking for us.” Ursula says, “We’re going to be ok. Let’s just stay in one place to make it easier for someone to find us.” Which of the following is an example of self-awareness?

Cаse Study: Cаn Imаginative Preschооlers Cоnfuse Reality and Fantasy? Amber’s parents took her to Disney World to celebrate her fourth birthday before her preschool program resumed for the fall. Amber liked books about princesses, and at Disney World, she had a day as a “princess,” complete with a beautiful dress, makeup, a tiara, and photos. When the day ended, it was diffi cult for Amber’s parents to convince her to remove the princess trappings. After that day, Amber insisted she was Cinderella and expected everyone to call her by that name. Her preschool teachers chuckled and decided to play along. Almost every day, Amber would wear a formal dress from the preschool’s dress-up box and play the role of Cinderella. She expected her friends to be her stepsisters. When her friends no longer wanted to play the role of her stepsisters, Amber could not understand why. Amber no longer played in all of the program centers as she once did. She would not cook dinner, but would attend tea parties in the housekeeping center. Amber wouldn’t even play outside if she couldn’t wear her formal dress. She would only engage in activities for a princess. By this point, some of the teachers and Amber’s parents were becoming concerned that Amber was taking this role too far. 1. Do you think Amber believes she’s really Cinderella? Explain your answer. 2. Do you think Amber’s dedication to her fantasy role suggests a developmental problem? Explain. 3. Do you think Amber’s parents and the teachers at the preschool program were right in “playing along” with Amber, or should they have insisted that the role could only be played a few minutes each day? Explain your thinking. Number your answer to ensure clarity and organization. 1 2 3
