◉ Six Stages of play. Answer: according to sociologist Mildred
Parten, there are 6 types of play that children take part in,
depending on their age, mood and social setting:
-* unoccupied play*; the child is relatively stationary and appears to
be performing random movements with no apparent purpose. A
relatively infrequent style of play.
-*Solitary play*: the child is are completely engrossed in playing and
does not seem to notice other children. Most often seen in children
between 2 and 3 years-old.
-*Onlooker play*: child takes an interest in other children's play but
does not join in. May ask questions or just talk to other children, but
the main activity is simply to watch.
-*Parallel play*: This occurs when children play side-by-side from
one another, but there is a lack of group involvement amongst them.
,They will typically be playing with similar toys and often times
mimic one another.
-*Associative play*:children will begin to play together, but not
focused towards a common goal.Associative play is slightly different
than parallel play as children may continue to play separately from
one another, but they start to become more involved in what others
around them are doing.
-*Cooperative play*:Children are now interested in both the people
that they are playing with as well as the activity at hand. The group
is more formalized with a leader, as well as other assigned roles, and
play organizes around accomplishing group goals or specific tasks.
Cooperative play begins in the late preschool period, between the
ages of 4 and 6. it requires an evolved set of organizational skills and
a higher degree of social maturity. Cooperative play is indeed the
culmination, bringing together all the skills learned across previous
stages into action, giving the child the necessary skills for social and
group interactions.
