Drawing on playwork methodology, theory and practice, this extensively revised new edition of reflective playwork recognises that play is a need for all, and seeks to encourage the provision of time and space for all children to freely enjoy is benefits. Encouraging a greater understanding to play from a child’s perspective and suggesting ways in which any adult can support and enhance play, it covers; playwork principles, the playwork approach, reflective practice and values, play theory, the child and their we;fare and spaces for play. This edition has a greater focus on putting playwork theory into practice to address the needs of all those who work with children and play. Using more stories and case studies from real life situation and a wider range of settings including schools, children’s centres, voluntary organizations and play therapy, Jacky Kilvington and Ali Wood help readers identify how to use the playwork approach and engage in reflective practice whoever and whenever they are."--Back cover
