- It Encourages Communication. Play allows children the opportunity to develop speech and language skills as well listening skills.Children talk and listen while they play, communication take a big part in developing social skills of children when they go to the big world. At school listening to my learners talk to each other always fascinate me. Always give me a wide eye, it is very interesting listening to them. misunderstanding and disagreements are always a part of it. but we teach and guide them how to solve their own problems.
- Play Improves Cognitive Development. refers to how a person perceives, thinks, and gains understanding of his or her world through the interaction of genetic and learned factors. Among the areas of cognitive development are information processing, intelligence , reasoning, language development , and memory. Children who engage in pretend play tend to have more sophisticated levels of interaction with others.Moreover, if children are deprived of play, their long-term capabilities related to problem solving, social skills and academic areas (e.g. literacy, math and science) could be lessened.
- Play Encourages Relationship Building. there are a lot of Social skills benefits for children specially when they go to school.
- it helps them on sharing- its can go along way than sharing toys, most important is helping other kids and making friends.
- cooperating kids that can work together with other kids can succesfully get along with other bigger community and contribute a lot from the classroom to the playground in and outside the school.
- listening does not only mean being quiet. it takes a lot from respecting to absorbing what others are really saying. it takes a big part in communication and important role for his studies academically in future.
- following directions , well as part of listening if they can't listen they can't follow directions and vice-versa. It can be a big problem. simple way to practice this is when you talk to your child ask them some follow up question or simply tell them to repeat what you say.
- respect on others personal space some children just crawl up in others people lap, squiz in and break others children's work. practicing simple house rules like knocking it room doors or saying KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF will help a lot.
- manners as simple as practicing saying as i so called MAGIC WORDS

- no thank you (when they don't want)
- eye contact practicing this at home when you talk to your child take a big part. They will feel more connection and they will understand better.
There are certainly numerous aspects to consider on this topic, and I could undoubtedly delve into it further.
It's essential to always bear in mind that PLAY serves as children's primary means of learning and development. It's inherently self-chosen, self-directed, and highly valued, offering a realm of imagination and endless possibilities for kids to explore.
As guardians, parents, or educators, our role is to guide, assist, help, and support children in their play endeavors. Rather than dictating how play should unfold, we engage them with guided questions, allowing them to maintain autonomy and make decisions within their play experiences.
When it comes to toys, there's an abundance of open-ended options available in today's market. Constructive toys like LEGO are popular choices, but simple loose tools and recycled materials found at home, such as fabrics and large boxes, can also foster creativity and imaginative play.
Books play a significant role in stimulating children's imaginations and nurturing a love for reading. Consider exploring resources like "Children Learning Reading" to support this endeavor. Additionally, if introducing screen time occasionally, opt for educational apps aligned with their learning and developmental needs.
