play as a disposition
- *intrinsically motivated**
- *internal locus of control**
- more attention on the means
- player guides & is an active participant
- suspension of reality
different roles kids play out
- work: waitress, school
- relational: mom, kid
- character: ninja turtles
- no identity: come up with creative figure
social play with motor play
- usually leads to play fighting
- wrestling, sword fighting, cops and robbers…
play as a context
- describes conditions under which play will occur
- availability of toys, peers, etc
- adult behavior is minimally intrusive or directive
- timing considers the needs of others
how are play and playfulness different?
- play: interaction with the environment
- playfulness: composed of continuum moving from intrinsic motivation to internal control to suspension of reality
continuum for playfulness/3 components for play
I have this section highlighted and bolded and all sorts of things - it’ll probably be on the quiz
- intrinsic motivation
- internal control
- suspension of reality
intrinsic motivation in playfulness (and relation to OT services)
- if I’m not intrinsically motivated, I can’t move to internal control
- something about the activity is appealing
- takes into consideration what drives the child
- *we need to be intrinsically motivating with our clients - use it to your advantage**
internal control in playfulness
- feeling physically and emotionally safe
- match between activity and skill
- player helps make decisions
- they don’t have to run the show - they really might not care about who chooses what
- ability to share control - difficult for a lot of kids
- share ideas and negotiate
2 things to always work on in play!!!
intrinsic motivation and internal control - they’re important through the rest of life
suspension of reality in play
- pretend/fantasy play
* *reduction of consequences that might normally be associated with doing that action in real life**
the incorporation of language in play
it doesn’t have to be incorporated
