The American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc. (AOTA) has published several tip sheets for “living life to its fullest”. One article, Building Play Skills for Healthy Children & Families, discusses what is play, why it is important and how to develop these skills. Play is important at all stages of life, but many times it is referred to recreational activities for adults. This article describes how to develop these skills to promote healthy living during early childhood (infants, toddlers and preschoolers), elementary age, middle school, high school and beyond.
