Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-21"> This study is an examination of preschool&hyphen;age English speaking children's interactive play behaviours with a non&hyphen;English speaking child (NEC). The play types of a NEC were reported using the Parten's categories of solitary, parallel and interactive play. In addition, English&hyphen;speaking children's interactive play with a NEC were reported in this study using categories of affiliative, possession&hyphen;related, prosocial and aggressive behaviour from Ramsey's 1987 study.</div>
