List and describe the four ways in which parents positively get involved in their preschool children's play
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer will include the following key points:
- Playmate: they use the opportunity to scaffold their children's play — often raising it to more sophisticated levels.
- Social director: Young children rely on parents to create opportunities for social interactions. Children whose parents provide them with frequent opportunities for peer interaction tend to get along better with their peers.
- Coach: When parents help their children initiate an interaction, make joint decisions, and resolve conflicts, they tend to be more competent socially and more accepted by their peers.
- Mediator: When young children play, they often disagree, argue, and sometimes fight. Children play more cooperatively and longer when parents are present to help iron out conflicts.
