A school-aged child thrives on feelings of accomplishment.Drawing pictures,looking at children's books,and building blocks are all ways that a child this age could play while developing a sense of accomplishment.A 500-piece puzzle would be too difficult for a 6-year-old child to complete without the possibility of getting frustrated.Most magazines and newspapers would be written at too high a reading level for a 6-year-old child.If play items offered to the child are too difficult,the child may become frustrated and may experience a feeling of inferiority.
