Mom and I observed 18 month old TM, as he participated in pretend play at a recent social. He set out plates, poured from a cup, pretended to take bites and shared ''food' with his mother and brother. Mom joined in and used parallel talk, by naming and describing the use of each item as he picked it up and used it. Mom was surprised and delighted as she observed his play activities "in the kitchen". Through observation, Mom discovered that TM learned best through play and that it affected his social, emotional, physical, intellectual and language development.
