Messiah College Play Is a Vital Part of A Childs Development Discussion Questions

0 comments

I’m working on a Health & Medical exercise and need support.

Play is a vital part of a child’s development.  The types of experiences that children get to have when they play will impact their ability to think creatively and their ability to use their higher-order thinking skills.  As teachers, it is our role to support their play by providing safe environments and materials, and the materials should be open-ended.  We also need to spend time interacting with children and asking them meaningful questions about their play.  For this weeks discussion, please answer the following questions:

   When you were a young child, how did you play?
   What made it play?
   What was your play like as you got older?
   How did the play change?
   How do you think children play now? Do they play as much as you did when you were younger? Why or why not?
