Mildred Parten
Edit ProfileCareer
She developed the theory of six stages of child"s play. Parten was one of the first to conduct extensive studies on children for the case of play. In these time frames, she could see the different children"s behavior and documented them accordingly.
She noted that most of the play is by themselves, in the first four stages.
The latter two are more extensive sets of play, and occur in older age groups which involve more interaction between children.
