The role of play in the hospital environment

Abstract

Play is the activity that stimulates humanity in a child. Through play we learn to socialize, and learn about law, justice, legality, legitimacy, and a series of ethical values inherent to culture. For some authors play is a natural function of the self whereby bodily and social processes are synchronized in humans, the results of which can be evaluated through observation.
