Born in 1902. No given place where she lived.

Unoccupied play:

This is when the child is not engaged or actively in play with other kids or people at all. This is mostly seen in newborns and infants from 0 to age 2. This stage is important for future exploration and development. They remain stationary and move randomly without any toy or object.

Married

She was married to Sidney M. Newhall.

Education

Solitary Play:

During this stage, children will often play alone with toys. They are unaware or uninterested in what others around them are doing. This is commonly in toddlers from age 2 to age 3. But it is important for children in all ages to participate in this from time to time. It is common at this age because children have not yet developed cognitive, physical, and social skills.This skill teaches kids how to entertain themselves.

Onlooker Play:

This is when the child observes others playing but does not join in. They will often engage in other social interactions as in conversation to learn more about the game or play that is going on. This is more common in younger children form two and a half to three and a half year of age. But it can also take place at any age.

Interests

  • She was a sociologist.
  • She went to school at University of Minnesota Institute of Child Development.
  • She developed the theory of the 6 stages of play. It was developed in 1932.
  • She discovered that children grow and mature through these 6 stages and their play becomes more complex with age.

Associative Play:

In this stage, children will begin to play together. But they won't be focused on the same goal. The children will be more interested in playing with other children than the toys that they play with. This is slightly different from Parallel play because the children will still play separately from others but start to become more interested in what others are doing. They will be playing or trading toys with each other and engaging with each other. This begins during the age 3 or 4 and goes through pre-school. This develops the nessecary skills such as to corporate, problem solving, and language development.

Parallel Play:

This is when children play side-by-side one another but there is lack of group involvement. They often play with similar toys and mimic on another. This is common in toddlers from two and a half to three and a half but takes place at any age. Even though it looks like there is no contact between the two kids, they are learning social skills and are learning a lot from each other. It is important as a transitory stage for the development of social maturity.

Stage Six

Cooperative Play:

This is where the child finally becomes organized into a group and teamwork seen. Now they are interested in both the people that they are playing with as well as the activity they are doing. The group is more formalized with a leader, assigned roles, and play organized around accomplishing a group goal. This is normally around the late preschool period at age 4 to 6.
