In terms of the differences in "play," when growing up as a child as to now with children, is not much of a difference. We have to understand that times have changed tremendously with children and what they're introduced to in todays society; some are good and bad. I remember my Aunt who passed away a year ago saying, "Times are not like they use to be." And this statement is very much so when it comes down to children in the early childhood, in terms of "play." Children learn from adults; therefor we must introduce children to postive "play" regardless of what type of play they maybe experiencing out side of the early childhood environment.
My hopes for children in our today's society to be introduced to postive "play." Play is healthy for children to grow and develop. Developmentalist believe that play is the most productive and enjoyable activity that children undertake (Elkind, 2007).
