A Longitudinal Study of Maternal Involvement and Symbolic Play during the Toddler Period.
Slade, Arietta
Child Development, v58 n2 p367-75 Apr 1987
Maternal involvement effects on symbolic play development in toddlers were investigated. Sixteen mother-child dyads were observed at bimonthly intervals in a free-play setting during the period from 20 to 28 months of age. The complexity and length of play episodes increased when the mother was available to play with the child. (Author/BN)
