Importance of play in a child’s development

Describe the role and importance of play in a child’s development. Give an example of a positive benefit of play. Maria is 3 years old and has developed a temperature post-surgery from a tonsillectomy. Her mum, Theresa a tax specialist, has stayed overnight and they were expected to go home, her boss was not happy that she took the day off as it’s the end of the financial year. Theresa still has to pay for childcare even though Maria is not there, but the surgeon would like to keep her in the hospital for a few extra days as her vital signs are not within the normal range. What impact could this have on Maria and her mum and family?
