Inhaltsangabe

Since the original publication of Play in 1977, dramatic economic and social changes have resulted in a marked increase in the number of young children from diverse backgrounds enrolled in group child-care programs, a trend that has created a need for a better understanding of play and its significance for the growing child. Over the same period, researchers studying child development have become even more interested in the relationship between play and children's well-being. In this enlarged edition of Play, Catherine Garvey explores some of the more promising new directions in the study of play and summarizes the findings of recent research.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Because play allows children to experiment with action, speech, and social roles they have yet to master, the author touches on topics that are of concern to parents and educator. Garvey has provided a concise introduction to current play research that also offers an entry to children's imaginative exploration of physical and social realities.
