Preferred term
play, nonsocial, and social-emotional development in childhood
Definition
- Children spend much of their youthful energy engaged in play. According to many researchers, play is a generative force in children's social, emotional, and cognitive development, and the extent to which children engage in play with others is of developmental significance (Fromberg & Bergen, 1998).
