The authors examine how imaginative play begins and develops and provide examples and evidence on the young child's invocation of imaginary friends, the adolescent's daring games and the adult's private imagery and inner thought.In the most thorough attempt to cover all aspects of children's make-believe, Dorothy and Jerome Singer examine how imaginative play begins and develops, from the infant's first smiles to the toddler's engagement in social pretend play. They provide intriguing examples and research evidence on the young child's invocation of imaginary friends, the adolescent's daring, rule-governed games, and the adult's private imagery and inner thought. In chapters that will be important to parents and policymakers, the authors discuss television and the imagination, the healing function of play, and the effects of playfulness and creativity throughout the life span.PlayPsychological aspectsImagination in childrenDevelopmental psychologyPlayPsychological aspects.Imagination in children.Developmental psychology.155.4/18Singer Dorothy G728988Singer Jerome L141853MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813534003321The house of make-believe3970254UNINA
