Kids playing with dolls showed better social and emotional skills than those using tablets, a Cardiff study found.
A Cardiff University study found that children aged 4 to 8 who played with dolls showed greater improvements in social and emotional skills, including understanding others’ thoughts and feelings, compared to those using tablets.
Over six weeks, doll play boosted emotion-related language, social interaction, and "false-belief reasoning"—a key part of theory of mind—especially benefiting children with peer difficulties.
Researchers attribute the gains to imaginative, open-ended play that fosters empathy and perspective-taking.
The findings highlight the unique developmental value of hands-on, non-digital play amid rising screen use among young children.
