Quote

Children move outwards from their caring adults a step at a time as they learn to play with other children, and to understand other adults by replicating what they have seen in their play. This happens most successfully with a progressively loosening adult scaffold, the process being in response to the interaction of experience and personality. As children’s social competence grows, so they are ready to have less adult structure and further-removed supervision.
