About this product
Product Information
Play is a fundamental value for children-it is complex, beautiful, and important for childrens development. Play is about having fun, being outdoors, being with friends, choosing freely, pretending, enacting fantasy, and playing games. It is about enjoying the moment, and consequently, not about planning for or worrying about the future. Play is a surprisingly complex and significant phenomenon in the lives of children everywhere. Childrens Play looks at the many facets of play and how it develops from infancy through late childhood. Authors W. George Scarlett, Sophie Naudeau, Dorothy Salonius-Pasternak, and Iris Ponte take a broad approach to examining how children play by including a wide variety of types of play, play settings, and play media. The book also discusses major revolutions in the way todays children play, including changes in organized youth sports, childrens humor, and electronic play. Childrens Play addresses diversity throughout the text and explores play on the topics of gender, disabilities, socioeconomic class, and culture.

Each chapter contains exactly the topics we want to study and adds surprises that counter the folk-psychology of today. Childrens Playdoes more than overview the research literature; it engenders new thinking., This is the most clearly self aware of the several current works in the psychology of children's play. It has the unique worth of being unusually comprehensive with respect to play stages, gender differences, private lives, neighborhoods, humor, collections, video games, responses to stress and the uses of recess and play therapy. I particularly liked the demonstration of the continuing role of make believe from early childhood on into the theatric, literary, and electronic foci of adolescence. These four authors are to be congratulated for having brought us as students and as parents an unusually readable text.
