This book offers a rich collection of international research
narratives that reveal the qualities and value of peer play. It
presents new understandings of peer play and relationships in
chapters drawn from richly varied contexts that involve sibling
play, collaborative peer play, and joint play with adults. The book
explores social strategies such as cooperation, negotiation,
playing with rules, expressing empathy, and sharing imaginary
emotional peer play experiences. Its reconceptualization of peer
play and relationships promotes new thinking on children's
development in contemporary worlds. It shows how new knowledge
generated about young children's play with peers illuminates how
they learn and develop within and across communities, families, and
educational settings in diverse cultural contexts. The book
addresses issues that are relevant for parents, early years'
professionals and academics, including the role of play in learning
at school, the role of adults in self-initiated play, and the
long-term impact of early friendships. The book makes clear how
recent cultural differences involve digital, engineering and
imaginary peer play. The book follows a clear line of argument
highlighting the importance of play-based learning and stress the
importance of further knowledge of children's interaction in their
context. This book aims to highlight the narration of peer play,
mostly leaning on a sociocultural theoretical perspective, where
many chapters have a cultural-historical theoretical frame and
highlight children's social situation of development. Polly
