He finds that children this age are able to negotiate during play. In these\u00a0negotiations they demonstrated invention, creativity, enthusiasm, industry, involvement, activity and problem-solving strategies.<\/p>\n<p>The results show that children&#8217;s negotiations form part of their play, and that these negotiations have a clear purpose: to agree on both how they can be together in their play and the content of their play.<\/p>\n<p>The results of the study show that young children&#8217;s negotiations during play vary, depending on whether the negotiations originate in agreement or disagreement. In negotiations that stem from agreement &#8211; in other words the children are agreed that they will share their play &#8211; the play features efforts by the children to understand their friends&#8217; perspective as well as playful development of the imagination. However, negotiations arising from disagreement involve play that is more about power, domination and manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A pedagogical consequence of the results is that adults shouldn&#8217;t intervene too early in children&#8217;s negotiations,&#8221; says Alvestad. &#8220;Just give the children time! Negotiations fit in well with the curriculum&#8217;s talk of children&#8217;s participation. &#8220;What&#8217;s more, adults shouldn&#8217;t intervene thinking that there&#8217;s a conflict between the children, as it is frequently a negotiation that&#8217;s happening, which requires a different approach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>University of Gothenburg (2010, June 24).
