Part 10/13:
The developmental process of children offers a mirror into moral and social learning. Play behaviors, such as "peekaboo" or simple competitive games, are foundational for understanding social hierarchies, cooperation, and fairness.
A vivid memory from childhood encapsulates this: a young boy playing with an adult acquaintance learning to aim and coordinate movements, subtly practicing social cues and patience. Such games are not trivial; they refine motor skills, teach patience, and calibrate understanding of social hierarchies.
