Description
Why Play Matters: 101 Activities for Developmental Play to Support Young Children by Caroline Essame is a practical guide to using play-based activities to support child development. Grounded in evidence-based practice, this book offers a holistic approach to play, incorporating sensory play, creative-explorative play, meaning-making play and higher play to support social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.
The book provides a range of activities, each following a helpful structure, to support children's development in five key areas: building emotional wellbeing, social skills, school readiness, physical skills and sensory processing skills. By bringing play back into children's lives, this book shows how it can be used to give them the best start in life for the best chance in life.
Essential reading for early years practitioners, primary school teachers, occupational therapists and parents, Why Play Matters is a valuable resource for anyone working with young children and looking to support their development through play-based activities.
