Why is play so important in child development? Are children in
today's society suffering from a lack of time for free play, with
the emerging dominance of screen play? Can play therapy help to
uncover, rescue and rehabilitate children living in abusive
environments, or even in war-torn countries? Is play also important
for adult development? Play is a learning experience and a crucial
component to childhood development as it allows children to emulate
the behaviours of those around them and to develop their social
skills. In this engaging book, David Cohen examines how children
play with objects, language, each other, and their parents to
reveal how play enables children to learn how to move, think
independently, speak and imagine. Cohen suggests that much of our
formative experiences of play informs our future selves, and
explores how play can help us to become better parents. This new
edition of The Development of Play offers a fascinating review of
the importance of play in all our lives. It includes the latest
research on the impact of digital technology, brain development,
cultural differences in play and toys, and also looks at why
parents sometimes choose different toys for girls and boys. The
book also provides advice and guidance on how parents can play
creatively and imaginatively with their children. It is essential
reading for Early Years, health care and education professionals as
well as undergraduate students in developmental psychology and
education.
