Kathleen Berger (2014) refers to play as, “timeless and universal.” (p. 207). My interpretation of this quote is that play can be timeless due to the fact that its so fun for children that they tend to lose track of time. Its like time doesn’t exist for the time being. Play is also universal due to it being know in every country and continent on this planet. Children use this as a release just as adults use other activities as a form of release. This also helps with development of learning skills due to the child interacting with other kids, the child is bound to learn something may it be a word, a skill, or a gesture. Its all a part of the psychological development of the child.
We all play and we all go through the same 5 stages of play.
