Play provides
opportunities for children
to develop speech and language abilities and also to practice listening. Parents
can help baby’s development through play together.
Whether their play is
companion-based with a sibling, peer, or parent, or solo play using
imagination, children
talk and listen while playing. It can be exciting to hear your child sitting in
the family room interacting with toys and hearing her play one character, then
another, as the toys interact. It can be invigorating to watch your son dress
up as a superhero and save the bath toys from the evil emperor.
Play helps with
relationships
Play promotes social
interaction and social skills and competence. Children,
who play, both with parents and peers, learn how relationships work through
their play experiences. The number of friendships and the quality of their
friendships will also usually increase as play becomes more prevalent.
Play boosts cognitive
development
Imaginative play and
role-playing are particularly powerful kinds of play that help the brain
develop in more functional and positive ways. Children
who engage in these kinds of play have a more sophisticated level of interaction
with others and with their environment than those who do not. This is
particularly evident in studies of children
who watch high levels of television in comparison to children
who
spend more time playing.
