Cevap
The expected developmental characteristics for a 4-year-old include insisting on wearing bandages for minor scratches, exhibiting magical thinking, and constantly asking 'why' and 'how' questions.
A 4-year-old child is in the preschool stage of development. Expected characteristics include a strong fear of bodily injury (leading to a reliance on bandages), magical thinking (believing thoughts cause events), and significant curiosity (frequent 'why' questions) indicative of Erikson's Initiative vs. Guilt stage.
