Someone with with interpersonal intelligence can understand and interact effectively with others involving verbal and non-verbal communication. They are sensitive to the moods of others and understand other’s feelings and motives, which allows them to work well in groups. They are known as ‘PEOPLE SMART’.
Someone with intrapersonal intelligence has the capacity to understand their own thoughts and feelings. They are very aware of their own feelings and tend to be self-motivated, meaning they learn well through independent study. They are known as ‘SELF SMART’.

"Play culture is at once completely local and extremely global."
It is global in the sense that children play everywhere, and there are similarities in the way that children play globally, yet when analysed, there are vast differences in the content on play across the globe, meaning a child's play culture is directly impacted by their location.

"...the distinctiveness of children's cultural worlds."

"...highlights the diversity of children's experiences, focussing on children of different ages and living in different cultural contexts."

A child's cultural world is unique to them, as it is created based on the child's own experiences with culture through their life. There are a wide number of different cultural contexts and aspects of culture that impact a child's understanding of culture and their cultural world.

As a child is always experiencing new things which develop meaning in their life, a child's life-world is always changing and expanding.

The life-world includes the relationships a child has. Because a child's is always situated in their life-world, it is important to realise the significance of the child's relationships, as they will be unique to them, but will have major impacts on the educational needs of the child.

The cultural products made for children mainly by adults in different classical and medias, such as children's literature, toys, TV and computer games. 2. Children's oral culture and play culture produced and performed by children and transmitted within the frames of a special type of social network. This culture includes aesthetic expressions such as games, tales, songs and a variety of other activities which play an important role in children's lives and development.

As a fundamental concept for developmentally and culturally appropriate practice, we need to understand the dynamics of cultural influence and child development on children's play, particularly in the contexts of family ethnic culture.

In Asia, ethnic cultural influences tend to see play and academic activities separate from each other. However, In Italy, there is little distinction between play and child's other activities and they place strong emphasis on social-interaction in child's play, an example is the Reggio Emilia. (New, 1994).

'Children's play is a personally meaningful experience through their physical environment in their own way, while at the same time the sociocultural experiences shapes children's play in its unique way (Erickson, 1963, 1963; Vygotsky,1997)'.
