"This tape defines play as an essential medium for learning and developing. Physical skills, cognitive learning, and social-emotional development are seen as key areas that are enhanced through play. Through play children work out difficulties encountered in the real world. Playing with objects leads children to think in new ways and to create novel solutions to real problems. Play is studied here according to its social categories and content. Children's play, as distinguished from other activities, is involving, child-directed, and process-oriented. Adults, however, do have a role in facilitating children's play by providing an environment conducive to play and assistance when needed." -Child Development Media, Inc.
