Supporting Drama And Play For Your Child !

Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

The ability to suspend belief in reality and move into a ‘pretend’ world, while at the same time knowing that the fantasy is not real and would appear on the surface to be an extraordinary attribute. Most children, however, from a very early age can distinguish between the conventions of pretend play and reality. Pretend play requires the child to act in the ‘as if’; a state where one thing can stand in for another. To be able to do this a child needs to be involved in a mental act of representation.

Contents

1) Self in pretend activities – children are themselves within ‘pre-tend’ activities, e.g. I am pretending to teach my dolls.

2) Generic role transformation, child takes on the role of another in a pretend situation, e.g. I am a doctor looking after my patients.

3) Generic role with complementary, child takes on a role, which involves interacting with a complementary other, e.g. I am pretending to be mother and I am talking to my child.

4) Generic role with complementary and reversibility, child can switch from pretending to be the mother talking to her child to the child answering and vice versa.
