PARENTS: Each time children learn something, the information is stored in their memory. The mind sorts what has been learned and finds ways to use it. The older children become, the longer they can store facts, lists, instructions, words, plans, images, and ideas in their memory. A child who is used to playing only with a parent may try to take the parent's role when he plays with other children and force other into lesser parts. He may begin by saying. "Im the father," if there is already a "father" and the other children do not want to give him the role, he has the choice of sitting by the sidelines or accepting another part. As he learns to play in groups, he is more ready to take turns in informal games, such as maneuvering trucks and cars, and playing house or doctor.MY WORD: the more children interact with one another the easier it will be for them to become socially confident.
