It assists people from lower to upper middle class families, and I will attempt to solve Mrs. Winger’s and Mrs. Ramirez’s problems.

These curriculums state that, practitioners must provide opportunities for children to make their own decisions and to establish their own ideas- which represents Piaget’s (1896) theory as it allows children to be in control of their own learning (Hammersley-Fletcher et al, 2006). This is portrayed through free- flow play. Sylva (1997) and Bruce (1947) identified that free flow promotes heuristic play as children explore, manipulate, discover and practise- resulting in the progression of children’s cognitive development (Bruce, 2001). Sylva (1997) and Bruner (1915) both believed that free flow play enabled children to problem solve- a skill which children required in daily life (May et al, 2006).…

According to a report by Ginsburg from the American Academy of Pediatrics (2007), play is essential for a child’s cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development and research shows that high levels of play directly correlate to a child’s cognitive development (Bergen, 2002). Play provides important learning situations in all areas of developments, including intellectually. Free play offers important mental developments by enhancing a child’s problem-solving skills, boosting their creativity, and laying a foundation for intellectual growth. Play encourages creativity and problem-solving as children face divergent problems in the play scenes they create. Children being to think outside of the box to develop unique solutions to their problems thus through play, children can expand their minds by thinking at a higher level.…
