Description

Evolutionary Playwork: Reflective Analytic Practice explores the complexities of children's play and its meaning and purpose. Adult-free play is essential for the psychological well-being of the child, according to Bob Hughes.

The book examines the fundamentals of evolutionary play, including brain growth and organization, free play, suitable play environments, safety, and consultation. Recent advances in our understanding of the evolutionary history of play are also discussed.

This revised edition reflects new challenges and needs, combining reality of playwork practice with the fundamentals of evolutionary and developmental psychology. It is essential reading for all playwork students, practitioners, and researchers.
