Time alone: why even babies need a break in their day to relax and recharge
Article Abstract:
Solo play is essential for children's development. They need downtime of moments when they can create their own ideas and express them in different ways. Permitting young children to play by themselves encourages problem-solving skills and creative thinking. It also helps physiologically to recharge children's brain to organize and stabilize internal systems.
