Over the same period, researchers studying child development have become even more interested in the relationship between play and children's well-being. In this enlarged edition of \u003ci\u003ePlay\u003c\/i\u003e, Catherine Garvey explores some of the more promising new directions in the study of play and summarizes the findings of recent research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause play allows children to experiment with action, speech, and social roles they have yet to master, the author touches on topics that are of concern to parents and educator.
