In the most thorough attempt to cover all aspects of childrenâs make-believe, Dorothy and Jerome Singer examine how imaginative play begins and develops, from the infantâs first smiles to the toddlerâs engagement in social pretend play. They provide intriguing examples and research evidence on the young childâs invocation of imaginary friends, the adolescentâs daring, rule-governed games, and the adultâs 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. |
