Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the developmental stages of children and how play behavior evolves during these stages.
Recognize that in early childhood (approximately 2 to 6 years old), children engage in more complex and imaginative play, often referred to as 'pretend play' or 'symbolic play', which is a peak period for game-playing.
Consider that before 2 years old, play is more exploratory and sensory-based, with less structured game-playing.
Note that between 7 and 11 years old, children engage in more rule-based games and social play, but the highest incidence of general game-playing is typically earlier.
Between 12 and 15 years old, play often shifts towards social and competitive games, but the frequency of general game-playing tends to decrease compared to early childhood.
