Play

play

Play is how children explore the world and discover what they can do. Through movement, games, make-believe, building and child-led experimentation, they test ideas, solve problems and learn to work with others.

Play gives children the freedom to follow their interests, make their own choices and encounter challenges at a manageable scale. It makes room for both joy and serious learning—often at the same time.

why it matters

Developmentally appropriate play supports social-emotional, cognitive, language and self-regulation skills. It also creates opportunities to communicate, cooperate, take safe risks and recover when something does not work.

The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies play as an important setting for developing executive function and nurturing healthy relationships. Research source: The Power of Play, Pediatrics
