Abstract:
This study focused on parent-child interaction, specifically, formative play and communication in stimulating co-creative play. The findings indicate that indulging in role-taking behavior (i.e., taking over a task for their child) and intense interaction lead to collectivity that is less productive to originality. Thus, in the study, more openness and collectivity created distraction when the children analyzed the task at hand. Stronger collectivity or openness offered the children an apprentice-like experience that allowed them to acquire a formative skill (i.e., craftsmanship), whereas individuality stimulated their exploratory thinking (creativity).
