Unoccupied play
Not engaged in play
Solitary (Independent) play
Playing separately from others, with no reference to what others are doing
Onlooker play
Watching others play. May engage in conversation, but not engage in doing. True focus on the children at play.
Parallel play
Playing with similar objects, clearly besides but not with them.
Associative play
Playing with others without organization of play activity. Initiating or responding to interaction with peers.
Cooperative play
Coordinating one’s behavior with that of a peer. Everyone has a role. This is the emergence of a sense of belonging to a group and that beginning of “team work”
“Games with Rules” play
Piaget believed children needed to be 7 or older to play games with rules
Factors to look for in a preschool (4)
Children spend more of their time playing and working with materials or other children.
Children have an opportunity to play outside every day.
Children and parents look forward to school.
Curriculum is adapted to those who are ahead and those who need help (recognize different backgrounds/experiences/people learn differently)

Frank: put in a psychiatric facility at the discretion of his father. Left there because “that’s just what was done”. Finally let out with the help of people at the facility.
