About the Book

Play has an important role in furthering children's social, cognitive, and emotional development. Through a range of topical issues explored by practitioners and educators in the child care field, this resource uncovers the intricate relationship between play and learning with a particular focus on the acquisition of social skills and the development of attitudes. Indeed, an "anti-bias" theme is central to the book.

Using both personal accounts and informed, theoretical discourse, Child's Play covers the nature and purpose of play, the types and stages of play, appropriate materials and resources, gender boundaries, cultural variance, differing abilities of young children, and the role of the adult. The discussion questions in each chapter are designed to prompt early childhood students and child care practitioners alike to analyze their own perceptions and attitudes, and ultimately guide them in developing programs that recognize play as a powerful learning experience.
