"Systematic research has increasingly demonstrated a series of clear benefits of children’s engagement in pretend games from the ages of about two and one half through ages six or seven," writes Scott Barry Kaufman in an article in Scientific American.
"The research reviewed by Berk, Mann & Ogan (2006) and Hirsh-Pasek, Golinkoff, Berk & Singer (2009) suggest that make-believe games are forerunners of the important capacity for self-regulation, including reduced aggression, delay of gratification and empathy."
