Question

Which statement best corresponds to a preschooler's understanding of hospitalization?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: "I got sick because I was mad at my brother."

Due to their imperfect cognitive abilities, pre-schooler tend to associate a certain negative things as the cause of other negative things in their life, regardless of the fact. This form of thinking would started to disappear by the time they enter the age of 7-9 years old.
