Practice ResearchSimple 'pizza' making for everyone. Euan instantly took up the role as 'Chef' and we became his 'assistants'. As soon as he felt like he was chef, his leadership skills kicked in. He chose how much ham slices were on each pizza and distributed the cheese and tomato how he wanted it. He'd check on us 'assistants' to make sure we were watching the timer on the ovens so that the pizza would not burn.
He ended being 'chef' whilst tucking into his home-made pizza and made the statement 'If I worked at Dominoes, this is how I'd make the pizza.'. Based on the documentary Secret Life of 4,5,6 year olds, the experts noted that when children enter role-play, it can be them playing out being an adult, which I'm seeing first hand here when Euan became a 'Chef'. He started to talk about how he's imagining himself in the future having a career as a chef for dominoes and stating that this was how he'll make the pizza's. Euan here is 7 years old, a little older than the documentary participants but he's making the same motives of consideration about his adulthood. Comments are closed.
