Where Have All the Players Gone?

Curry, Nancy E.

Journal of Children in Contemporary Society, v17 n4 p93-111 Sum 1985

The relationship of play and language to development of the sense of self is examined. The value of playful, affectively charged interchanges between caregivers and children is highlighted, and guidelines are established to determine a child's level of development. An intervention model is proposed for children developmentally delayed in terms of language and play. (MCK)
