known as the “toy stage” .
Play in childhood is a serious
business.

3. VARIATIONS IN PLAY INTERESTS

conform more or less closely to a pattern
which is markedly influenced by thei
maturational readiness for certain forms
of play and by the environment in which
they are growing up.

PREFERENCE FOR DRAMATIC PLAY
AND CREATIVE ACTIVITIES AND
FOR BOOKS WHICH INFORM

much of their play time
doing something original
with toys and play
equipment while
noncreative children

on a low level. The reason for this is that

20. There are 3 common causes of misdemeanor
during the early childhood years.
-First, young children may misbehave due to to
ignorance of the fact that their behavior is
disapproved by the social group.

21. -Second, many young children learn that
willful disobedience of a minor sort will
generally bring them more attention than a
good behavior.

responsible for much
misbehavior during the
years of the early
