    It’s a love hate situation. For a lot of children, they will use play to process and understand things. E.g. “Helping” a Barbie with the problems helps them understand why their brother gets special treatment.

    I’ve seen my daughter playing “classroom” with her teddies. It helps her understand better how school works, and what would be acceptable or not.
