Child's Play: How Having Fun Turns Kids into Adults

Through play, children try out roles, test limits, and develop basic physical and mental skills.

This video explores these issues and the role of toys, the role of organized sports, and the importance of dolls and stuffed animals.

Viewers also learn also about practice play, parallel and cooperative play, sensory play, creative play, and symbolic play.

Play is the engine that drives child development -- and "playing around" is probably the most important thing a child can do. Closed captioned.
