Question

When asked about her best friend, Rasamee says, "My best friend is Annie. We do everything together. We both love to play four square, and we always play it together at recess. Annie lives near me, and she has so many fun toys that I love to play with." This description of Rasamee's friendship is MOST characteristic of children of what age?

A) 2 years oldB) 4 years oldC) 7 years oldD) 10 years old

Answer 1

C) 7 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Changes in children's reasoning about friendships are due to changes in their ability to take others' perspectives into account. In that respect, at approximately nine years of age children tend to define their friends, take others' needs into account, reduce loneliness and share feelings. In fact, younger children's concepts of friendship are more concrete, such living nearby and playing certain games and with certain toys.
