The preschool-age child engages in fantasy and magical thinking.The school-age child moves away from this type of thinking and becomes more skeptical and logical.Belief in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny ends in this period of development.If the child demonstrated this type of thinking,the nurse would need to follow up with more developmental screening.School-age children enter the stage of concrete operations.They learn that their point of view is not the only one.The school-age child has a sense of humor.The child's increased language mastery and increased logic allow for appreciation of plays on words,jokes,and incongruities.The school-age child understands that properties of objects do not change when their order,form,or appearance does (object conservation).
