About this book

Living well in retirement depends on a variety of decisions people make as they prepare for and enter this new chapter of life and living. Women approaching and experiencing life in their senior years are the largest and fastest-growing part of the population. Today's senior women live longer, are healthier, better educated, more involved in the world, and more active than the women who preceded us. Meet women who reveal the realities of life for retirement-age women, and demonstrate the dreams, joys, concerns, and fears that come along with this phase of life.

The development of play

David Cohen

"The Development of Play explores the central role of play in childhood development. David Cohen examines how children play with objects, with language, and most importantly with each other and their parents. He explains how play enables children to learn how to move, think, speak and imagine, as well as to develop emotionally and socially. Incorporating much of the recent research in this area, including that of John Flavell, Henry Wellman and others, The Development of Play shows how play encourages children to grasp the difference between appearance and reality."--BOOK JACKET.
