peer play , psychology homework help
Three-year-old Ben lives in the country, with no other preschoolers
nearby. His parents wonder whether it is worth driving Ben into town
once a week to participate in a peer play group. What advice would you
give Ben’s parents, and why?

I
would definitely advise Ben’s parents to drive into town so he can
participate in a peer play group. If Ben has an opportunity to interact
with other preschoolers, he should have the chance too. This will help
him develop skills as the other kids will be around the same stage of
development that he is in. By interacting with other preschoolers, he is
going to learn from them.

I
would advise the parents to take ben to peer play group weekly and to
try to find other activities for him to participate in. Him being around
other children will expand his social skills, language skills, and help
him throughout the different developmental stages. I’ve witnessed this
first hand, my best friends daughter wasn’t talking at all but once she
started daycare and started coming around my son more her language
skills developed and her vocabulary blossomed.
