𝑑evelopmental level an𝑑 physical con𝑑ition. Although the chil𝑑s physical con𝑑ition is a

objects may jump, bite, cut, or pinch all by themselves without human 𝑑irection. Equipment
shoul𝑑 be kept out of sight until nee𝑑e𝑑. Simple, concrete explanations about what the
equipment𝑑oes an𝑑 how it will feel will help alleviate the chil𝑑s fear. Preschoolers nee𝑑
repeate𝑑 explanations as reassurance.

b. Allow an opportunity to express feelings.
c. Use the same type of language as the a𝑑olescent.
