Toys and Emotional Development
A discussion on how toys contribute to emotional development and the importance of imaginative play.
Research shows that play is crucial for cognitive, social, and emotional development in children. It helps them learn about the world and develop essential life skills.
During play, children engage in problem-solving and critical thinking, which are vital for brain development. This engagement fosters neural connections that support learning.
“Play is the highest form of research.” - Albert Einstein
