 A report on preference for solitary play among young children was presented. The goal of the study was to develop and validate an "interview" assessment of this preference, while also testing the hypothesis that negative peer experiences might lead to preference for solitude specifically among shy children. Solitary play, in other words social withdrawal, is typically when children remove themselves from interacting with their peers. Evidently, children who rather spend their time alone miss out on the important benefits that interacting with other children provide such as social, emotional, and cognitive development.

Those put into the shyness category are those who do not necessarily prefer to engage in solitary play but are afraid to participate in interactions with their peers. Whereas those put into the unsociable category prefer to be in solitude, but neither fear nor avoid pee...

Instead of playing with a therapist, treatment for children with ADHD should facilitate neural and social development through play with parents, siblings, and peers. Programs of play have been developed for these children that target skills such as inhibitory control, working memory, and motor coordination. The way children pla...

     It is very important for children to play and interact with other children. It can be structured or unstructured play. Structured play is organized by adults at a specific time and place, for example the school soccer field at three o'clock. Unstructured play is not planned by adults; it is directed by the children themselves. Play has been deemed so critical and fundamental to childhood that the right to play has been enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Outdoor play is encouraged because it promotes physical activity and reduces risk factors such as  obesity. Active play involves physical activity that produces moderate to vigorous spurts of energy that can increase a child's heart rate. The duration and intensity of play changes as the child gets older.

The study that included 31 Euro-American and 25 Latino parents visiting the museum with their children served to help examine how parents in these specific ethnic groups encounter and engage with the discourse of "learning through play". In it, it was shown - as in similar past studies - that parents are more likely to engage in play with their children if they consider play to be a mods of learning.  This was displayed through the ways the test was run using parent-child interactions coded in two dimensions: didactic nature and its child- vs. adult-directed nature. They were coded into two didactic domains; concepts (factual information content about a museum exhibit), processes ("how" to do an activity), as well as pretend play.
