In a nursery children will engage in numerous types of play, one of those types of play is pretend play, ’Pretend play is where children talk to toys or objects and make up games using characters’ (P.Tassoni,(2007) page 160).
The idea of a predictable and unpredictable life events involves generalisation. For some people issues like divorce or redundancy may be predictable, but other people may not have expected to be divorced or lose their job. Predictable life changes One event that is often predicted is when our children start school/nursery. There will be positive learning from this experience as the child will then learn to socialise with other children and make new friendships with them. The child will learn to share toys and develop a better vocabulary by listening to others talking.
It also allows the practitioner to establish what a child’s skills are and where they are currently working at. “When children play, they show their skills and competencies.” (Pound. L, 2009, pg.13). Through using Tina Bruce’s theory of children being independent learners; practitioners can observe children while they are playing, thus using this information to plan adaptable activities that reflect the level that each child is currently working at. For example, if a child has been playing with the puzzles and the
Play is a vital element in the development of children; an element which adults, teachers and caregivers should always consider (penn foster book, pg. 183). How can legos, puzzles, toy cars, games and sidewalk chalk be an important influence in the development of young children? Such common toys aid children in play and guide children in learning and mastering imperative skills. It’s crucial that toys for children are selected with safety and developmental appropriateness guidelines in mind.
Guidelines published by the CPSC and other groups can help you make those buying decisions. Still, use your own best judgment — and consider your child's temperament, habits, and behavior whenever you buy a new toy. You may think that a child who's advanced in comparison to peers can handle toys meant for older kids. But the age levels for toys are determined by safety factors, not intelligence or maturity.

Outline and evaluate one psychological explanation of media influences on pro-social behaviour One psychological explanation of media influences on pro-social behaviour is parental mediation. Singer suggested that parents can enhance children’s understanding by watching pro-social programmes with their children and discussing the moral content and reinforcing the pro-social message. By adults explaining the message to their children it enables them to understand much easier and they can take it on board. Morals in pro-social programmes tend to be harder to understand than anti-social behaviour. Age is an important factor for understanding pro-social behaviour.
He was the original voice of Mickey Mouse, perhaps the most successful cartoon character of all time. It’s hard to imagine that such great films such as Pinocchio, Fantasia, Bambi, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Alice in Wonderland, Dumbo and Peter Pan were created by the man himself back in the 1930’s and 1940’s. He created Disneyland and Disneyworld, one of the world’s first theme parks, for children and adults to enjoy together. The Walt Disney Company today has annual revenue of $35 billion dollars.

These skills will be very useful as children grow and develop in their personal and professional lives. Through divorce and a blended family, children can learn to be more self-reliant. Because of work schedules, school functions and extracurricular activities, parents my rely more on the children to take more responsibility for things around the house. There is also the potential to learn to do less with more. With prior financial obligations and the possibility of more children in the home, many blended families don’t have the financial freedom that a lot of natural families have.
