It is vitally important to support andencourage self-directed activities by your young child. Even if thoseactivities appear meaningless to us, they can have great purpose andsignificance for the child. These activities are not random and have apattern and organization in keeping with your child's level of mentalability. Allowing your child time and freedom to complete theseactivities to her personal satisfaction nourishes her powers ofconcentration and attention. Left to her own devices, an infant oryoung child can spend a long time on an activity in which she is deeplyimmersed.Young children create learningexperiences through four major types of play. Here's a look at each andwhy it's important to value your child's self-initiated activities.
MasteryPlay Playful experimentation with hands, feet, and senses is thedominant mode of mastery for the infant. It is timeconsuming andrequires effort and cannot be hurried. As we watch the infant learner,the inappropriateness of confronting him with computers, flash cards,and educational videos becomes more than obvious. Infants and youngchildren exemplify the adage "practice makes perfect." Repetitive playis one of the ways in which children master major motor skills.
InnovativePlay Once children have mastered a skill by repetitive play, they wantto innovate and push the limits of their newfound skill. It is not onlythe mastery of motor skills that gives rise to innovative play. We canobserve it with language skills as well. Once children become moreadvanced verbally, we see many different forms of word play, of goingbeyond the usual word meanings.
KinshipPlay Children of about the same age and size are naturally drawn to oneanother. They share a common pint-size view of the world, a commonsubordination to adult authority, and a common wish to relate tosomeone like themselves. Children who don't know one anothercommunicate through self-initiated games. These games are fun becausethe children are at the same skill level and because it is arelationship of mutual rather than unilateral authority (as withadults). Kinship play is an initiation into social learning andcooperative activities.
Therapeutic PlayAll children use play therapeutically as a way of dealing with stress.Sometimes a child's play can help the child deal with impulses that aresocially unacceptable. Imaginary companions may serve as fantasysurrogates of the child's wild side.
Duringthe first years of their lives, young children are quite literallyvisiting a foreign land. And, because young children do not think inadult concepts and categories, they approach this new land from manydifferent perspectives at the same time. As children transition fromearly childhood into the elementary school years, their play takes onnew functions as it becomes subordinate to the dominant disposition ofthis age period-work. In this context, work is acquiring the basics ofliteracy, math, and science.
