Waarom het werkt
Symbolic and pretend play is critical for cognitive, social, and emotional development during this age. Role-playing social scenarios allows children to practice courtesy and perspective-taking in a safe context. Children who engage in more cooperative play at this age show better relationships with teachers and peers later (Fantuzzo et al., 2007). Pretend play also supports language development, which enables social communication and conflict resolution.
Tips voor ouders
Keep it short and simple, just five to eight minutes at this age.
Gently coach your child through the social scripts: 'Can you ask teddy if he wants more?'
Let your child lead sometimes, even if the 'rules' of tea time get creative.
