Reading the passage and selecting a spacific perspective, is quite challenging. Personally, I agree with both of the topics at hand, but each study has their own opinion mixed in. I believe it is important for a child to have an equil amount of both, play time, and time for orginized activities. A child needs to learn how to couaperate with out kids, and learn how to recive instructions. Which the organized activities aspect comes to play. A child also needs to know how to have fun, and learn how to freely express themselfs while they play. As in passage 1 states, "with creative play, children use familiar materials like clay, wood, or kitchen supplies." Which mean the childern are learning how to problem solve in new ways.
...eir senses by playing with ‘pretty playthings’ and ‘glittery toys’ (Cleverly & Phillips 1986 p.29) as this would encourage their love of the world and imagination. Locke (1889 p.88) suggests that children should be encouraged to play, and that through play, they can be taught. Wesley (Cleverly & Phillips1986 p.30) believed that children should not be allowed to play at any time as children who played grew into adults who played.
(Anderson-McNamee, J. K., & Bailey, S. J. 2010) article wants you to understand that play starts in the child's infancy and continues throughout his or her life. “Child Development and Early Learning”, emphasizes that support comfort from the caregiver/parent and play is essential to the motor development. According to (David, S. K. 2011). “As young children grow older they need opportunities to learn and socialize with other children of their age. Group learning activities, run by a trained caregiver or teacher at home or in a nursery school or kindergarten, are important in helping children get ready for
This essay will explain both sides of the views and using critical thinking will uncover the real message the author intended to portray.
An Article by Dr. Leong and Dr. Bodrova (2016) stated that play is beneficial to children’s learning especially when it reaches a certain degree of complexity. When they engage in play activities most of their early years, they learn to delay gratification and to prioritize their goals and actions. They also learn to consider the perspectives and needs of other people and to represent things significantly to regulate their behavior and actions in a cautious, intentional way.
Wilson quotes Piaget in stating, “Play is the work of childhood, and how young people learn and develop schema about the world” (p.144). Especially for younger children, play is
The role of play in child development has been discussed in Penn’s text and has been shown in various class films. Firstly, I think it is important to acknowledge how important play is to a child’s development. Penn (2014) argues that “play is central to contemporary understanding of childhood, but it was not always so” (p.134). This shows how Penn agrees that play is an important aspect of child development, however decades ago this may not have been true. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) has internationally agreed rights and one of the rights under participation rights is play. Penn (2014) states “to play, and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts” (p.131). This shows how every child has the right to play,
The article states Play time is important for kids because, it increases original thinking and emotinal health as well.
I think it is very important for children to engage in imaginative and creative play. The reason I say this is because, there are so many children out here in the world being forced to play the sports they dont want to play. Meanwhile, we have other teens and young adults playing the sports they want to play. Yes children need to experience creative paly to learn how to be themselves. They need to learn how to become independent responisible thinkers. With all of these things been said this brings me to my next subject.
Many people support scheduled activities with the belief that it will teach important charactar traits such as commitment, teamwork and dedication. This is most likely true, but the implication that children who do not participate in these activities do not obtain those very same traits is simply false. All interactions with other children and adults will teach social cues and values that will allow for a sense of responsibility and obligation to fufill the expectations set each individual. The difference is in whether the children feel obligated to do something because an adult or set of rules told them, as they would learn in sports, music lessons, or scout meetings, or if these children feel obligated to be productive and complete something because they themselves want to or because its the right thing to do. This ability to self-motivate and create one's moral code is something that can only be brought about by having free time to not only play but also to make mistakes and learn from
Children have a natural inclination to play, alongside a natural instinct to learn and to be curious and inventive, which are characteristics of the human race in general. This quote taken from Janet Moyles is a good starting point for this essay. It is well known that children love to play. If a child were to be left to his/her own devices they would happily play and create new worlds anywhere they were left. It has been well documented and researched that children learn excellently through play. However they are not always given the opportunity to do so, instead being told to, ‘finish your work and then you can go play’. Obviously this is not always the case, but the fact that it is a common practice shows that we do not all fully appreciate the importance of play to children’s learning. This essay will attempt to show how children learn through play, making reference to current theory and practice. I will also give examples from my own first-hand experience of how children learn and develop as people through play.
To start off, I will talk about what skills creative play helps children devolop. Some are self expression, critical thinking, problem-solving, and independent thinking which are just a few of the skills they will devolop. Many will argue and say they won't learn how to be resposible adults, But as children they should'nt be resposible for much. They will have time later in their life like high school to join organized activities and devolop those skills at an age where they will be needed more.Also creative play helps them learn as they play. I stongly believe in this becasue children love to play.
As children mature, it is important that they aquire skills and characteristics that will benefit them along the way. Organized activities help young adults delevop positive attitudes about themselves and others. Although creative play is also important, ensuring that children participate in organized activities is essential for healthy growth. Programs such as music lessons, sports teams, and group games create a sense of belonging for children.
Creative play is important to childrens everyday life. It can help devolop social skills, increase your imagination, and also learn to make your own decisions.There are many reasons on why creative play is important for your little ones, but these are the reasons I chose.
Creative Arts in early childhood education refers to children’s participation in a variety of activities that engage their minds, bodies and senses (Sinclair, Jeanneret & O’Toole, 2012; Kearns, 2017); to inspire all children with the opportunity for creative and imaginative expression. Duffy (2006) and Sinclair et al. (2012) state that creativity is the process where children use their imagination to problem solve, develop new ideas, independence and flexibility to accomplish tasks. Furthermore, when educators foster creativity, they are assisting children in making meaning through play and developing their growing capacity to communicate, collaborate and think critically to meet the demands of life in the 21st century (Duffy, 2006; Korn-Bursztyn, 2012; Sinclair et al., 2012).
Holistic development of young children is the key determination and through play they are able to survive and become physically healthy, able to learn, and emotionally secure and into where they progress into responsible and productive adults with positive reinforcements in the future. When there are societal issues that are barriers such as “technology, childhood obesity, culture, etc.” (Gaston, A, Module 1, Unit 1, 2016), children are then unable to revel in freedom of movement in where play is adventurous and brings out positive behavior. “Play supports the holistic development through the development of intellectual, emotions, socially, physical, creative and spiritual” (Gaston, A, Module 1, Unit 2, 2016), signifying that holistic development is an important factor to be aware of as the child grows. An example would be when in Workshop 1 of Social and Cognitive Styles of Play, we had to play in the given activity for the time being and observe our members and distinguish what kind of cognitive play it was. And one of the assigned question to
