Role Play and children:
Children are naturally drawn to role play—the magical art of imitation and make believe.
But role play is more than fun...it's a key component of learning. According to child development experts, role play helps children acquire all kinds of skills and knowledge, encouraging them to:
- Explore imagination
- Think in the abstract
- Acquire language skills
- Build social skills
- Problem solve
- Understand someone else's perspective
- Learn essential life skills from adults
- Discover leadership skills
- Safely explore the world beyond
- Acquire confidence and a sense of self
If that isn't amazing enough, consider this: because role play engages emotion, cognition, language, and sensory motor skills, scientists theorize it actually creates synaptic connections between parts of the brain. And the more synapses, the greater a child's intelligence!
There are different types of role play, and they help serve different purposes. Encourage them all...and nurture your child's natural gifts, insyaAllah!
