If a child does not play is a sign of alarm

It is usual that a healthy and happy kid wants to play at any time of day. If we observe that never fails to demonstrate interest in this type of activity, we suspect, according to the psychologist-Marina Martinez Cubells, that:

■ Perhaps in the family there is excessive attention to a problem. That tension faced by small interrupted him his game.

■ If we put a disproportionate number of real stimuli for their age, we limit their desire to fantasize.

■ In the case of observing that it has no interest in investigating, which does not carry out symbolic games and showing passivity, we must consult with the specialist, because it can have an organic alteration or emotional difficulty.
