Imaginative play



Even though kids use their imagination by themselves, they tend to develop a strong self-concept through interaction with others. Sociodramatic play involves children acting out various roles such as mother, chef, and babies as well as taking any identity of stories they have created. It help children to learn from each other while exploring and rehearsing the social roles, testing their ability to convince others of their ideas, regulating their emotions through imagination, and developing a self-concept. Sociodramatic play tends to becomes more interactive, frequent as well as complex between the ages of 2 and 6, since through this form of play, children learn to modify their emotional expression in response to the reaction of their playmates.
