PLAY,RAG DOLL

Part of the way children learn to live in a community is trough playing their games only give the impression of being uninhibited and spontaneous; in reality, they are part of socialization process.They are not merely a means of free expression for small children.
The community encourages youngsters to make use of “educational toys” that prepare them for their future roles.
A little girl mothers a doll, anticipating what she will become herself, dressed as a gown woman, velled if custom demands and invariably modest.
Games after mimic adult activity; a little girl will, with the utmost seriousness, carry about on her bach a doll made out of an ear of maize, or a piece of wood wrapped in a rag, just as if it were a real child I should note, that both the little girl playing with her doll and the small boy acting out war games are discovering a way of escaping from their parents authority.

Childhood is a journey full of sudelen changes.At each stage we have to turn our backs on our past life and step into the future that beckons us forword.
Dolls represent a sence of innocence.How many of us fried to take control of our own childhood aftering our dolls-catting their hair,adding make-up, or sewing new clothes-as we created safe important worlds for them to live in.Eventually, we grew up, and the dolls we played with were discarded.We interested in other things, more real and scary and exciting.
