註釋Praise for the first edition: `In this deceptively simple book Dr Sheridan takes us through the main varieties of spontaneous play which children engage in during the first seven or so years of life ... I know of no other book which gives a more vivid illustration of what is meant when we say that the essential feature of childhood is that it is the period of development.'---Professor Jack Tizzard

Based on the pioneering work of Mary D. Sheridan, Play in Early Childhood is a classic introductory text to play and development - key topics for all those who work with young children. Updated for a contemporary audience and fully evidence-based, it explains how children's play develops and how they develop as they play.

With over eighty illustrations and observations of play from birth to six years, this new edition presents classical and contemporary literature, making clear links between play and all areas of children's development. It includes activities to consolidate thinking and suggestions for further reading throughout.

Suitable for those new to the area or for more experienced workers wanting a quick reference guide, this easy-to-follow book meets the needs of students and professionals from a wide range of health, education and social care backgrounds, including early years professionals, playworkers, children's nurses, speech and language therapists and social workers.
