Recently, 5-year-old Jack's father was injured in a motorcycle accident. The father is healthy and back at work. Jack's father confides to the school nurse that he is concerned about Jack.

When questioned further, he tells the nurse that Jack is not acting like he was before the accident. He says he keeps telling Jack he is a good boy; indeed Jack is not testing or challenging his boundaries like he was before the accident. Which of the following best describes the reason for the behavior Jack's father is seeing?
A) The thought of losing his father was scary and Jack is trying to show his father how much he loves him.
B) Jack is afraid of being hurt himself and thinks being especially good will protect him from accidents.
C) Jack wanted to go with his father on the motorcycle ride. When he was told he couldn't go he told his father he hoped he would crash, so Jack believes he caused the accident.
D) Everyone in Jack's family is being nicer to each other, and as most preschoolers will, Jack is imitating the grown up behavior.
