Theoretical perspectives on play -- Exploring play and child development -- Playfulness -- The role of adults in children's play -- The play environment -- Inclusive play practice -- Observation and assessment through play -- Professional practice issues.
Providing an overarching concept of play, drawing together the evidence-base across disciplines and linking theory to practice, this is the ideal handbook for all those working with children. It provides a baseline of shared knowledge for all play professionals, exploring the fundamental value of play rather than a 'how to' approach to practice.
