She argues that all play is purposeful, and can only truly considered to be play when the child has chosen what to do, where and how to do it.Using case studies drawn from all over the world, Smidt challenges some of the prevailing myths relating to play and pays close attention to what it is that early years professionals need to do to interpet the play, understand its purpose for the child and sometimes extend it. </PlayLearningChild developmentElectronic books.Play.Learning.Child development.155.4/18Smidt Sandra1943-,856164MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459209303321Playing to learn1986686UNINA
