A Playworker's Guide to Understanding Children's Behaviour: Working with the 8-12 Age Group

Written in a jargon-free, readable style, with a profuse use of real life examples, this book is a must-have resource for playworkers seeking to enhance their skills as a whole. It highlights how the way we think about children’s behavior colors the way we react to it. It offers playworkers a different way of understanding many ordinary childhood behaviors such as lying, stealing, bullying, and gives practical advice not only on management but on how practitioners can identify, trust and develop their own skills.
