Independent play refers to the time children spend playing alone without direct adult supervision or involvement. This type of play allows children to explore their interests, develop creativity, and enhance problem-solving skills. It can involve various activities, such as building with blocks, drawing, or engaging in imaginative scenarios. During independent play, children learn to entertain themselves and make decisions about their play. This fosters a sense of autonomy and self-confidence. Additionally, independent play can help improve focus and concentration, as children become absorbed in their activities, leading to valuable cognitive and emotional development.
