Description
• Inspires and informs readers to understand play and give them ideas and practical activities to use with the children they care for.
• Accessible for all adults who want to successfully engage children through play.
• Grounded in the new model of Developmental Play, a holistic and inclusive model of child development which consolidates best global early childhood practice into a simple, accessible form.
• Brings together aspects of social, emotional, physical and cognitive development in children informed by theories from developmental psychology, occupational therapy, play-based education, neuroscience, and more.
• Shows how play can be used to enhance children’s development in five key areas: to build emotional wellbeing; to build social skills; to build school readiness; to build physical skills; and to develop sensory processing skills.
• Each activity follows the same helpful structure: ‘tell me about it’, ‘what will I need?’, ‘what will my child learn?’ and ‘tips for maximum benefit’.
