Pathways to play / Sandra Heidemann, Deborah Hewitt - Minnesota : Redleaf Press, c1992. - 107p. : ill. ; 28cm.
Includes bibliography
Play skills are vital to a child's overall healthy development. However, the training many caregivers receive may not include extensive information on play skills. This book presents a play checklist to help caregivers observe children's play skills, pinpoint play skills on which children need to work, and plan goals for improving those play skills. The play checklist is intended to be short, pertinent, and easy to understand, as well as to address both sociodramatic play skills and social skills. Chapter 1 of the book reviews definitions of terms used in the book grouped under the three types of play (play with objects, social play, and sociodramatic play) and outlines how play helps a child begin to use symbols and interact with other children. Chapter 2 offers suggestions for enhancing children's play by providing time, space, props, and planned experiences.
