  The early years of childhood are very important. At this time, children have the capability to learn more, and at a faster rate, than at any time of their lives. They continually absorb new information and develop skills in all areas, from learning how to relate socially and emotionally to people, to language, communication and motor skills. Play has an important role in this process; it is how children instinctively explore their position. This book explains how different kinds of play build up different skills and how, as children grow older, their play becomes more sophisticated. The chapters take the reader through each age group, in turn highlighting the important points of development and suggest games and activities to stimulate the child and encourage progress.
