Alison Stallibrass, an expert on children's play and the mother of five children, makes clear the importance of uninhibited games and activities, without adult interference, in building a child's skill, judgment, and self-esteem, and shows how to make this kind of play possible in a nursery school, day-care center, or at home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Stallibrass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Lifelong Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.42w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780201193404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHelen Alison Stallibrass\u003c\/b\u003e (nee Scott) grew up in the country, the eldest of five children.
