Stages of Play: Nurturing Child Development Through Playtime Adventures with Edx Education
Manage episode 445045336 series 3411418
"Play, Learn and Create" explores the different stages of play that children go through as they develop.
Edx Education experts highlights the work of sociologist Mildred Parten who identified six stages of play: unoccupied play, solitary play, onlooker play, parallel play, associative play, and cooperative play. Welch explains that while children may not necessarily abandon previous stages as they age, they tend to spend more time in the progressive stages, eventually engaging in more collaborative forms of play. She emphasizes the importance of providing children with opportunities to play and experiment, noting that following their lead and interests can be more beneficial than imposing complex activities.
