Outdoor play is a significant and essential aspect of a young child's development and enjoys a renewed emphasis in early years practice, in keeping with the core principles embedded within the early years tradition. However, this emphasis may sit uneasily alongside a requirement to focus on the development of literacy and numeracy skills and supporting outdoor play can raise a number of thorny issues such as freedom, safety and risk. This book challenges the reader to consider: Why outdoor play is seen to be of significance within early childhood Whether this view is justified (what are the benefits of outdoor play?) The implications for practitioners who may be facing conflicting pressures in their work with young children In particular, the writers skilfully blend theory, research and practical guidance to address three important issues: What constitutes 'good' outdoor provision for young children and babies?How do we respect and respond to the young child in outdoor provision?How do we support risky play within the bounds of a statutory curriculum or regulatory regime? Incorporating chapters from internationally renowned authors working in this field, this book is recommended both for practitioners involved in early years education and care and for students at foundation, degree and post-graduate levels."This is a thought provoking book that draws on research to encourage the reader to reflect on the essence of outdoor play in early childhood. Recognising that within our society assumptions are made about outdoors and about childhood, this book challenges the reader to reflect on outdoor provision from a number of perspectives. The outdoor environment matters to young children. This book not only makes the case for outdoor play, it considers what that actually looks like in the UK and internationally, and asks us to reflect on the implications for our own working practices. Maynard and Waters set out to provoke critical reflection and inspire practitioners; they have certainly achieved their aim and this book is a welcome addition to the debate about outdoors in the early years."

Jenny is the story of a sweet and bright eleven-year-old girl who has had to grow up too quickly. Her birth mother, Natasha, a single, drug-addicted parent, had five children by different men who have abandoned her. The effects of drug abuse on Natasha had opened a vacancy in the home for the position of "mother." The only willing applicant had been Jenny who stepped into the role of managing to care for her younger siblings when her mother was out. A tragic series of events leads to the inevitable decision of removing the children from Natasha and placing them with a loving, young couple who eventually adopted all of them when Jenny was six. Jenny continually finds it challenging to trust anyone.Haunted by her perceived responsibility of protecting her siblings, Jenny encounters a series of twists and turns in her teenage years that keep triggering her issues of anger and unforgiveness towards her birth mother and places her at risk for repeating Natasha's mistakes. However, Jenny discovers that God, who has a plan for Jenny, and open adoption are the keys for healing.

About Natasha: What else could go wrong for Natasha? She is twenty-three years old, a single parent of four young children, and is currently pregnant. She is on her own, no thanks to any of her babies' fathers. She has no money, no motivation, and no dignity. Her family is the epitome of dysfunction and she has no friends other than the guys who want to use her. Left with nothing but her pain, her constant companions are loneliness, depression, and now addiction. Just when it seems as though life could not possibly get any darker, Natasha meets Kayleen, a woman no stranger to pain. Yet, there is something different about Kayleen. Something hopeful. Something freeing. Thoroughly cautious and distrustful, Natasha finds herself on a journey which visits the past, explains the present, and offers light to her future. She discovers that there is healing, redemption, and grace for the broken soul.
