All in all, adults are afraid to pitch ideas because of judgements from peers whereas children,they aren't afriad to do anything. With an environment of trust,where people are less tense and apprehension,encourages people to play.That brings us to the point of friendship. it is the shortcut to play—secure
uninhibited exploration. This is why many creative firms like Pixar and
Google invest so much in creating a friendly and playful atmosphere. Tim
Brown elaborates on three types of play: exploration, building, and
role-playing.
Adults tend to want to categorize new things and situations very quickly. Kids are more open to exploring possibilities. For example: kids can generally find more uses for a cardboard box than a new toy that came in the box. An adult's desire to be original will often limit the number of possibilities they will explore before they settle on a solution to a problem.
Kids learn through construction play—building a tower and repeatedly knocking it over. Building play is thinking with your hands. Quickly getting something into the real world in order to evaluate its effectiveness at doing whatever. It's quick prototyping.
Kids do this all the time—they follow social scripts. They learn the rules for their social interactions. When adults act out solutions it helps them determine if it will work in the real world. I f designer lives through an experience it helps them develop empathy for the client.
Play is not anarchy—it has rules. It's important to know how and when to play—exploration and execution.
