Peer Play and Prosocial Behaviour
Captions available
The idea
Collaborative play with peers builds prosocial behaviour, such as sharing and cooperating, and reduces aggression, a link to Vygotsky's social constructivism.
In practice
Two preschoolers agreeing to take turns with the only scooter in the yard.
Where people slip
Schools have cut play time for academics, and withholding recess remains a punishment in some US schools.
