What the expert says
Janina Knobeloch, pedagogue and teacher at the Berlin Institute of Children's Pedagogy, says: "Actually, during the second year of life, children still don't play together. Rather, they play close together with the same game." The fact that one-and-a-half-year-olds swap bricks or molds represents the first step towards playing together. What is true for language learning is also true for social play: there are those who start before and those after. Children who go to the nursery or younger siblings often get there first: they first have to deal with questions like "mine" and "yours" and imitate the game of the older ones, because behavior in society must also be trained. Little soloists can be helped if they are placed in a play group or if they can participate in mother-child gymnastics. A tip for fathers: you shouldn't play with your daughters or help them in any way, but neither should you be angry if one wants to insistently watch football in dad's lap.
