While engaging in pretend play children are trying out new ideas they learnt, applying them and imagining possible impacts. This is a very important part of their cognitive development. When they are interacting with a character they have created, if you see them making any obvious mistakes, please chip in and correct them so they do not have the wrong ideas engraved in their brains. This is also a good time to start helping them with assertiveness techniques. Help them be more logical, to expect positive responses, be respectful, and kind. Also teach them to honor their own needs and that of others in a nice way.
