According to child development experts, role play helps children acquire all kinds of skills and knowledge, encouraging them to:-Explore imagination-Think in the abstract-Acquire language skills-Build social skills-Problem solve-Understand someone else's perspective-Learn essential life skills from adults-Discover leadership skills-Safely explore the world beyond-Acquire confidence and a sense of self--If that isn't amazing enough, consider this: because role play engages emotion, cognition, language, and sensory motor skills, scientists theorize it actually creates synaptic connections between parts of the brain. And the more synapses, the greater a child's intelligence!--Imitating Mom or Dad! For most kids, this is one of the first forms of role play. You vacuum; your child wants to, too. You go to the ATM; your child wants to push the machine's buttons. Doing dishes and chores.--Imitative role play helps kids understand who their parents are and what grown-ups do. It also helps them acquire important life skills that will help them become independent adults.--Encourage your child to help you with chores and errands, like setting the table and selecting groceries. Choose toys that trigger imitative play, like "playing house," driving a battery-operated car, or taking care of a doll.--More likely than not, when kids explore this type of role play, they're not alone-they're playing with a pal or two. And that's even better! Cooperative role play teaches kids how to negotiate, take turns, work as part of a team, and play leader-all necessary to developing social skills.
