A nurse is providing anticipatory guidance about child development to the parents of a preschooler. Which of the following developmental tasks should the nurse include as being expected of a preschooler?

A. Controls impulsive feelings: Impulse control is still developing in preschoolers and becomes more established during the school-age years. Preschoolers often act out emotionally due to limited self-regulation, so full control over impulses is not expected. B. Builds a collection of cards: Organizing and collecting items in a systematic way is more typical of school-age children, who develop interests in categorization and collecting based on rules and order. Preschoolers do not yet have this level of structured play. C. Participates in imaginary play: Engaging in imaginative and pretend play is a hallmark of preschool development. It supports cognitive, social, and emotional growth and reflects their emerging creativity and understanding of the world around them. D. Expresses need for privacy: While preschoolers may start to show modesty, a strong, consistent desire for privacy typically emerges in school-age children as they become more self-aware and socially conscious.
