War, weapon and superhero play, which, for the past 30 years, has been banned in the majority of early childhood settings in England, is the subject of much debate in the early childhood community. This book explores the development and application of a zero tolerance approach through the eyes of children and practitioners. The author challenges the key rationale for this policy, which links aggressive play themes to violent behaviour. By exploring the generally positive experiences of children and practitioners in a group of early years settings where, with sensitive adult guidance, children

The Treasure Basket and Heuristic Play promote extraordinary capacities of concentration, intellectual brilliance and manipulative mastery for babies and young children. The approach appears deceptively simple as it suggests offering natural and household objects to babies and toddlers, which can transform their learning. However, it is based on much more complicated research into how babies learn, the principles of learning, research evidence, and the authors own personal experience of working with the under 3s. This book provides: anew approach to understanding and providing for the pl

Finally, a discussion of play as an educational remedy is
