By the ages of two and three, children’s play becomes symbolic in nature. Symbolic play skills often take the form of “sociodrama.” It is at this time that parents might notice the elaborate scripts emerging in their children’s play (i.e., feeding the baby, going to the doctor, playing house). Sociodramatic play involves complex play abilities where children are interacting with their world and developing expectations for the world. Children use sociodramatic play to elaborate and explore daily scenarios. Sociodramatic play provides your child with a sense of control over their environment.
For example, if your child begins to play doctor, this instance of sociodramatic play enables children to better understand the role of a doctor and patient and most importantly conquer any anxiety they may be experiencing in what can often be seen as a stressful experience. Practicing or rehearsing the sequence of events experienced on a typical visit to the doctor helps children feel more comfortable in this scenario and learn effective coping strategies (i.e., distraction) for managing excessive wait times and the dreaded booster shot.
