In what ways does pretend play support self-regulation?

What will be an ideal response?


Pretend play is strongly related to cognitive, social, linguistic, and academic competencies. Through pretend play, children act out roles and rules and expand behaviors based on complicated scenarios. This allows them to practice existing skills of negotiation and develop new ones that emerge as challenges surface during play. Self-regulation is supported, as the private speech used during pretend play is what eventually develops into self-regulatory internal thought.
