Fraser Brown and Michael Patte draw on a wide range of thought, research and practice from different fields and countries to debate, challenge and re-appraise long held beliefs, attitudes and ways of working and living with children in the play environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChildren need to play and the benefits of play are many and varied, but they are too often underestimated by parents, educators, politicians and society in general. The authors apply a playwork perspective to a wide range of settings populated by children, both formal and informal, to explore the idea that children's learning and development derives substantially from their opportunities to engage with a rich play environment that is supportive of the play process. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThoughts are provoked through examples of research, reflections on research, activities, key points and guidance on further reading. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRethinking Children's Play\u003c\/i\u003e is essential for all those studying childhood at undergraduate and graduate level and of great interest to those working with children in any field.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45086063493271,"sku":"9781441173669","price":21523.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781441173669.webp?v=1767265716","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/rethinking-childrens-play-9781441173669","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
