This discussion post has two parts: Share a favorite Play Memory and Share an Example of Imitation
1. In this discussion post, think about a favorite play memory from your childhood.
Briefly share your memory and then reflect on what you were learning while you played. What area of development did you enhance?
When you think about this play experience, do you find you are still interested in these kinds of play or do you express this in your work?
2. In the chapter we learned about Bandura social cognitive theory. In this theory he asserts that children learn by imitating others.
Share an example of a time you notice a child imitating others. Who were they imitating? Parents, siblings, friends, characters on the television? was it a positive or negative behavior they were imitating?
