How play can help child development

Play is one of the main ways in which children learn and develop. It helps to build self-worth by giving a child a sense of his or her own abilities and to feel good about themselves. It can help develop emotional skills, a sense of awe and wonder, help them develop social skills and get them ready for school and learning.
