Updated September 12, 2016. Almost every day we describe and assess the personalities of the people around us. Whether we realize it or not, these daily musings on how and why people behave as they do are similar to what personality psychologists do. While our informal assessments of personality tend to focus more on individuals, personality psychologists instead use conceptions of personality that can apply to everyone.
3-â4-year-old children require opportunities to: 1  Play with other children so they can learn to listen, take turns and share. 2  Develop more physical coordination-for example, by hopping on both feet. 3  Develop their growing language abilities through books, games, songs, science, math and art activities.
Play contributes to developing the whole child. Through play a child's creativity, physical and cognitive abilities are refined and strengthened. Using play as a tool to teach in the early childhood classroom will bring a wholistic approach to the content and will help develop every part of each child. â Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength.
