Explanation:

• Preschool boys and girls do have measurable physical differences (e.g., boys tend to be slightly taller/heavier on average).
• The body catching up to head size occurs in infancy, not the preschool years.
• Preschoolers lose most baby fat as they become more active, before elementary school.
