Summary:


London-based early childhood education specialist Holland had long established a strict no-tolerance policy for such play in centers where she worked. But co-workers pointed out once the negative impact the policy was having on the self-esteem of a few boys, so she relaxed the policy and together they observed and recorded the result. Here she documents the impromptu hoc research program and the initial findings, as a foundation for further research. Distributed in the US by Taylor and Francis.
