Children's play: a place of health

Abstract

The benefits of play and humor are undeniable for human health. Given the extensive size of the phenomenon of ludicity,
I intend to stick here when playing in the child, specifically up to the age of six. Brown (1998), dealing with clinical
evidence of play, points out two situations that attest to his importance in childhood and its repercussions in life adult: (1) studying the lives of some murderers in series, shows that, in common, they were prevented from play freely in childhood;
(2) even before others evidence from clinical and laboratory tests of seriously ill children, the first sign of improvement of your health status is behavioral, manifest through the resumption of play, interrupted during the critical stages of the disease.
From this evidence, Brown oncludes about the restorative function of play that, as like sleep and dreams, would function as a
superorganizer of the experience.
