CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Parallel play is a kind of play wherein toddlers play next to one another, but not with each other directly. In this activity, they can try to observe or mimic what the other child is doing. As their social or awareness skills aren’t developed yet, they try to pick behaviour from the environment around them.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asendorpf refers to parallel play as a child’s coping style, and explains that children who want to play with an unfamiliar peer will resort to this style. This coping style allows children to engage in the same activities as their peers from afar, until they are comfortable enough to socialize with their peers.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a child plays alongside or near others but does not play with them this stage is referred to as parallel play.

Detailed explanation-4: -Parallel play is when two or more toddlers play near one another or next to one another, but without interacting directly. They will sometimes be observing and even mimicking the other child. This type of play may begin between the ages of 18 months and 2 years.

Detailed explanation-5: -If you have hobbies or things you like doing that your partner/friends/family members you spend time with don’t partake in while you’re in the same general vicinity, you might already be doing parallel play. Because it can be pretty much whatever you want it to be.
