Question by chrstnwrtr: How does play time foster development in children?
I posed a similar question to my aunt, who is a counselor (recently got her master’s degree in counseling) but I didn’t have enough time to get a good answer.

In a nutshell, how does playtime foster development in children? How does it help troubled children “connect to reality,” so to speak? How do child psychologists and therapists interpret a children’s playtime in the sense of whether or not they are developing normally?
This is out of curiousity, by the way.

So many things can be learned with by playing – the way different things feel, learning colors, learning sounds – all this develops the brain of young children. While they are babies, all they know is Mommy takes care of me, and feeds me, and all I have to do is cry…by playing, they learn that they can do things on their own – they won’t always have Mommy to do things for them.
