Child Development and Milestones
How does play influence brain development?
Play is the brain’s favorite workout—it sparks creativity, problem-solving, and social skills. When children play, they build neural connections that support learning and memory. Different types of play—like imaginative, physical, or social—stimulate various parts of the brain, helping your child grow holistically. Encouraging playtime, both structured and free, creates joyful opportunities for cognitive, emotional, and physical development. Play also teaches children how to collaborate, negotiate, and regulate emotions, skills that serve them for life.
