He adapts to new conditions. He concentrates on what he is doing and lives fully in the present. He is self-confident but not overconfident, and meets difficulty, failure, and criticism constructively; he is not given to making excuses, withdrawing, blaming someone else, saying that he does not care, or using other escape mechanisms.

Some of their games such as hide-and-seek, blindman's bluff, hopscotch, Red Rover, dodge ball, have existed for centuries. The peak of variety in play activities appears to be in the ninth year. After the tenth year there is a decrease in the number of different play activities reported.
