Abstract
This paper focuses on the importance of playtime for children. It demonstrates its necessity and looks at how playtime should be given to every child. It shows how after passing such a long time in school and studying, every person needs a rest and how rest can only be obtained when a person is mentally relaxed and tension free. It examines how playing is one of the ways from which a person can be free from all the tension he or she has and how during the playtime, children get some time to spend with friends and be a little bit free from tensions of studies.

"Take role-playing as a case in point. Keep in mind the Mark Twain stories in relation to Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn? They take in many examples of play. If, as in a scene in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, a youngster pretends to be a riverboat leader, there's a lot more to that role-playing than merely significant what a captain does and a number of basic boat expressions. There are approaches that go together with the role-playing: for the most part, the power of being captain and the happiness in the capability to make decisions.
Adults fit into place in comparable dramatic role-playing, often imagining themselves in a role that yields real mental benefit."

"Kenneth Wooden had a speech impediment until junior high age. Taunts and jeers from classmates caused him to withdraw, and he was placed with slow students who, like himself, could barely read. He continually failed classes and started having behavioral problems. He beat up a classmate, vandalized businesses, and stole a car. Due to the efforts of his parents and a sympathetic judge, he was spared imprisonment.
After high school, Wooden could not get a job because he could not read and write well enough to fill out job application forms. He taught himself how to read in the army. He married a loving woman who tutored him through college. He graduated with honors from Glassboro State College in 1962. The folder containing his records from earlier schooling stated that his IQ was 78. Wooden believed strongly that there is a relationship ... "

Abstract
The paper discusses the possibility of developing a robotic nanny whose cognitive processes and behaviors are based on the sound and provable theories of J. R. Anderson. The paper analyzes Anderson's ACT theory of cognition, which has been used to model and teach aviation science and math, and cognitive science. ACT also has real-world practical applications such as the creation of a fully-functional robot nanny. The paper shows why parents can trust "Harriet", who operates in accordance with ACT principles of cognition, to help them take care of a young child of three years of age. The paper details how the robot's ACT system deals with crises, with rational and objective criteria based on perceptions and pattern recognitions. The paper concludes that although the robot doesn't always make the right decisions, she learns over time to act in accordance with her main goal: taking care of the baby.

From the Paper
"The duties of a nanny include feeding, bathing, changing diapers, reading stories, interactive playing, holding and carrying, and putting to sleep. I will describe a few of these to illustrate how ACT works to make Harriet an ideal robotic nanny. Harriet is "always on," and receives input from the environment in terms of visual, audio, and tactile information. The baby in each of these situations will be called Bob. Bob is three years old. He can talk and vocalizes his needs as best he can. Harriet has been a nanny for Bob for a few months, so her Declarative Memory and her Production Memory contain some information that will guide her decisions in the following everyday situations."
