This review is from: We don't play with guns here: War, Weapon and Superhero Play in the Early Years (Debating Play) (Paperback)
A fascinating debate as to whether imaginative play and allowing children to create 'guns' in a play setting encourages violence or allows children to role play and develop skills in a safe environment. As someone who grew up in a climate where more aggressive play wasn't taboo, I found some of the theories particularly interesting. Ideal for degree courses in the childcare sector.The author argues the case that banning such games/role play could actually have a negative effect on self esteem, and even in some cases (especially boys)a disaffection with education. Are a group of children 'defeating' Darth Vader involved in "serious drama" or "morbid mischief"? |
