As violence in the media and media-linked toys increases, parents
and teachers are also seeing an increase in children's war play.
The authors have revised this popular text to provide more
practical guidance for working with children to promote creative
play, and for positively influencing the lessons about violence
children are learning. Using a developmental and sociopolitical
viewpoint, the authors examine five possible strategies for
resolving the war play dilemma and show which best satisfy both
points of view: banning war play; taking a laissez-faire approach;
allowing war play with specified limits; actively facilitating war
play; and limiting war play while providing alternative ways to
work on the issues. New for the Second Edition: More anecdotal
material about adults' and children's experiences with war play,
including examples from both home and school settings. Greater
emphasis on the impact of media and commercialization on children's
war play, including recent trends in media, programming, marketing,
and war toys. Expanded discussion about the importance of the
distinction between imitative and creative war play. Summary boxes
of key points directed at teachers or parents. New information
about violent video games, media cross feeding, and gender
development and sex-role stereotyping. A more extensive list of
resources and further reading for adults and children. Praise for
the First Edition! "Powerful...A wealth of practical suggestions
for parents and teachers."; -Young Children "Comprehensive and
useful...Educators who read this book and implement its suggestions
will be making an important contribution to a peaceful future for
their young students." -Teachers College Record
