Play is extremely important for children's emotional, social, intellectual and physical development. Through play, children learn to talk, walk, eat, treat others and express their needs and desires. Because of all this, it is extremely important for parents to play with their children. Play should be understood as an interdisciplinary science that connects or meets other disciplines as well. The importance of play for the overall development of a child is unquestionable, so play is the focus of numerous researches. Contemporary theorists are preoccupied with the ways children play, how children learn social interactions with peers, how creativity and imagination enrich play, how children learn to share, and how to relax. Interest in different types of games depends on how developed a child’s motor system is, so physical activities vary from childhood all the way to adolescence. Due to the great importance of play on a child's daily life and future development, adults are necessarily a future part of that play, in a way that they are directed by encouraging the child to make the most of their potential. The child's development requires the role of an older person who introduces new elements into the child's relationship with the outside world, and after a while the older ones begin to get out of the game, and the child still feels safe playing, as if the absent person is present.
