Research that Benefits Children and Families
The positive research that I found was the research paper on The Benefits of Playground for Children Aged 0 to 5 written by Duerr Evaluation Resources. This research talks about the brain development, motor skills, social skills and language development of a child while they are playing on the playground.
Children learn social skills by them creating games and having social reactions with their peers. The research shows that portions of the brain is develop due to the speed of playing with pattern activities. The research findings that play helps with cognitive, emotion, social and motor skills.

Machelle,
Social development is so important for young children's development. I am glad you chose this topic, because I chose it as well! :) It is sad that children don't get to play outside anymore like they used to, because parents feel it is not safe. Great post!
Its definitely important that parents, teachers, and other adults understand the importance of social development -- especially on a playground for children.
I enjoy watching children as they work through social problems like sharing a tricycle or taking turns at the slide. Being able to work through those problems on their own is definitely a skill they will need as adults.
thanks for sharing!
Shawna
