Description:Are children playing less than they used to? Is this contributing to rising obesity rates? Based on ethnographic research, this critical study argues that the growing health concerns around childhood play are a paradox: by advocating, promoting and re-directing children's play, a new form of children's leisure is emerging, one that is above all purpose-driven and instrumentalised for health. The book explores the role of the education and health systems, media and families in the changing nature of play, and argues that rather than continuing to structure and organise children's play, there could be significant gain in simply leaving kids alone.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
