Solitary play refers to a type of play where a child engages in activities alone, without interaction with peers. This form of play is common in early childhood development and 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 playing with toys. During solitary play, children learn to focus and concentrate, which can lead to greater independence. While some may view solitary play as a sign of shyness or social issues, it is a normal part of development. It helps children understand their preferences and build self-confidence in their abilities.
