Taking a rights-based approach to the interdependence of play and
health in childhood, this text argues that the child’s right to
health and development cannot be satisfied without also the
fulfillment of their right to play. Underpinned by theory and
real-life ‘case stories’ drawn from practice and family life,
Whitaker and Tonkin present what is known about the benefits of
play and its potential to address the pressing health needs in the
short and long terms of the youngest generation. They define and
discuss the concepts of childhood, play, health, and human rights
before exploring how play interacts with the four fundamental
principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child:
non-discrimination; best interests; life, survival, and
development; and inclusion and participation. The book then
investigates how practitioners can advocate for the child’s right
to play to meet all their health and development needs. It presents
numerous examples of best practice from a range of settings –
including hospitals, schools, community initiatives, charities,
families, and more – and incorporates the voices of children as
they imagine a future in which play is elevated to a central
position in their lives, allowing for the achievement of lifelong
health and happiness. Exploring children’s rights from a
practical perspective, this accessible book is essential reading
for students and practitioners in healthcare, social work,
community work, early years, and education.
