Through the pleasureable playful experiences gained in the close relationship with the mother initially and then with others, both children and adults, in the setting of society, the young child is enabled both to embrace and develop the culture. These pleasureable experiences allow the child to develop in confidence, feelings of security and with the ability to accept uncertainities and failures, and eventually to break away from the close bonds formed initially with the mother. If these relationships and playful experiences are not of high quality, and the attitude of society is to undervalue play, the child cannot progress in his/her search for reality. Paradoxically, the child needs both separation and distancing from, as well as proximity to, the cultural norms of society. These norms are examined by the child in pleasureable play experiences. The cultural characteristics of the post-industrial world are turning away from the value of playful activity and the fantasy world of childhood. In so doing, the harmonious development of the individual is threatened. The fascination of the child with material objects, machines, toys etc, is supplanting the interest in personal relationships. In the search for higher and higher technological and scientific achievements, so necessary to the modern world there is a reduction in respect for the equilibrium of the individual personality, which constrains maturation. The possibility of an immediate access to information, via the multiplication of stimuli and the rapid processing of information, is mitigating against the individual's awareness of different methods of communication and the processes of innovation and variation, by which the culture is kept alive and develops. There is a risk that there will be an interruption in the transmission of culture between generations. Play and culture are the expressions of the human condition, a condition required for the enrichment of society as a whole and for the development and education of children in particular.
