Description

We are so used to seeing children and infants play that we tend to overlook its importance. How often do we hear the phrase 'it’s child’s play'? Any busy active baby demonstrates that it is anything but simple and straightforward. Play is the child’s daily work and part of their development. While it is easy to understand that children play for pleasure, they may also use play to act out the struggles they face on a daily basis (Winnicott, 1964), and make life real and meaningful.
