What’s the best way to help my child develop her play skills?

The best way to help your child develop play skills is to play with her every day and introduce a variety of toys that tap into all areas of development. She won’t like them all equally, but with your help, she’ll be more likely to try just one more time. If you keep play-time short and fun, you can bet she will learn more skills playing with you than she ever would on her own.
