Preschool Role Play

They using hand to make finger’s movement and they have a freedom how to use it. If they continue play with this toy they can make their own story. Hand puppets help children to improve communication and social skills. Hand puppets are an ideal springboard for developing speaking and listening skills. Children often communicate more easily with puppets, giving them confidence to express their ideas and feelings.

When I participated in some events, I had chances to work with adolescents. It was so much fun, and totally different from the environment that works with children. However, I realized that I prefer to work with young children because working with children need more parenting and teaching than working with adolescents. I can see how young children interact with their friends in new environments through such parenting and teaching. In addition, young children show us various characteristics depending on situation or peers.

Daycares are efficient, friendly and allow the child to learn many things that they would not otherwise, most child care facilities have specific regulations so the children receive the best attention and support they need from the staff. Daycares are a perfect way to help parents with their busy schedules and let kids have fun as well. The child will also create great friendships and learn how to communicate with children their age. This will be their foundation and preparation for their school years. All in all, taking your child to daycare will help the child academically and socially.

Piaget’s theory is based on assisting others until they can help themselves. Piaget goal is to help children learn so that they can become successful as they reach adulthood. Children learn as they experience different things in their environment. This includes playing with toys and using objects that helps them physically. For example, a child who enjoys drawing could

enjoyment. Play can also be considered a rehearsal for acting-out real life events – such can be seen when children play house or school (Parsons, 2011). Also, play is so important and essential that it is included in the United Nation Convention of the Rights of the Child as stated in Article 31 (Leisure, Play and Culture): Children have the right to relax and play and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities (www.unicef.org). According to Bergen &Fromberg (2006), play is important to the optimum development of children. Unfortunately, though there is abundant research evidence showing that play supports young children’s social, emotional, physical and cognitive development, it has often ignored or addressed

They become more and more interested in playing and interacting with other children. When playing with others, children learn appropriate social behaviors, such as sharing, cooperating, and respecting the property of others. In addition, while interacting with their peers, children learn three domain of learning without recognizing it: the cognitive, affective and psychomotor. As children 's grows older, their competent in social interaction changes by whom he/she encountered. They gain a lot of social skill that boosts their self esteem to interact with others (stance.org).

Development is a gradual and continuous process. The development of children is greatly influenced through interactions with the family, friends and culture. Children learn from seeing how they are treated, overhearing the interactions of the people around them and observing the things we do all throughout the day. Fully understanding how children grown and change over the course of childhood requires us to look into various child development theories such as psychosocial, cognitive, behaviourist and ecological theories, to name a few. The various development theories could greatly help us in guiding and caring for children.

2005). Social Learning Social learning refers to learning through interacting with other people. It also shows that not all learning is formal (university etc) but also happens informally in everyday life (Grieve, et al. 2005). Many parents and teachers use operant social learning to encourage good behavior in children.

This is an organized and peaceful environment specially catered to the needs of the children who, as independent learners, have the freedom to pick from and participate in the many different activities available which interest them and work at their individual’s pace. (www.montessorisos.com/montessori-philosophy#Prepared-Environment) As the children are able to explore only things which intrigue them, at their own pace, they would naturally develop a love for learning.

In order to make their stance clear, Lillart et al. (2011) breakdown and examine individual elements of pretend play in different views- such as emotion regulation and social skill. They argued that while social competence is associated with ToM ability, however, Stagnitti and Unsworth (2000) has claimed that children in solitary play also have the same social competence. They can pretend and solve problems as children in the pretend play, thus improving their social skills. Many researchers agree that pretend play is crucial in emotional competence, however, the inconsistency in correlational studies suggested that there might be another factor that mediates the relationship (Bergen, 2002; Hirsh-Pasek et al., 2009).

Let the children have fun exploring what costume they would like to wear & play time to explore the differences, colours, jewels etc on each costume. Have them sit down & discuss the differences by writing a few things down about the costume, which culture it came from, are they colourful or do they have special jewels, head pieces etc. I think this is an exciting group activity to explore differences & educate the children at the same time! *Perhaps if their appears to be issues between children having a group discussion about differences can help alleviate the issues & help the children understand these differences. Books about culture, religions, disabilities etc can be a way of showing a group of children different elements to each child’s life & the differences between individuals.

Their abilities and impairments could be observed while playing and then teaching could be formatted to their needs within the play therapy. It is also suggested that children with the syndrome are given an advocate to help communication between child, family, school, and others (Liles & Packman, 2009). Since Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is “not only the primary cause of mental retardation in the United States, but also the most readily preventable,” then it is obvious that children with this syndrome are at risk (Liles & Packman, 2009). They would benefit from the help of social workers throughout their lives. Most of the interventions in place have focused on the prevention of FAS through awareness.

T2: Children and Young People 's Play and Learning Play is when a child or anyone for that matter can be inventive, creative and be free to do what they want during play. They can do what they think when playing, getting across the way they feel. Play is possibly the one main process which can let your imagination roam freely and forgetting about reality. I will also be discussing theorists and their theories associated with play, evaluating and assessing it 's effect on practice. Children are greatly affected by their play, as it can increase their holistic development and general everyday skills.
