The emotions and opinions that a child expresses during play can guide practitioners to identify their likes, dislikes and activity preferences. This will assist in accurately planning and implementing activities of varied interests and learning styles. For example, if you were to ask a child what type of activity they want to play and then set it out the same week, the child will feel as though their views are just as important. They will also gain a sense of belonging in the setting and realise they are being valued and respected. As a result children may reflect the practitioner's attitude towards them in their behaviour towards others. Showing children that they are valued and listening to their views allows them to respect themselves and be more confident, not just in their work but their daily routines too. They will be increasingly open minded and out spoken, therefore making it easier for practitioners to understand a child's wants and needs and successfully providing them.

Hannah Mortimer, author of various early years books and an educational psychologist, believed that young children should be allowed to have a say and be included in decision making when planning so practitioners can ensure that children have equal opportunities, feel involved and successful in their learning and play. They should be given activities and interventions to suit their interests and strengths. Therefore children will feel a greater sense of achievement when they recognise that their opinions were the source of their success.
