The program includes is a comprehensive section about how adults can best support play, presenting clear examples of modelling, scaffolding, and specific praise, as well as ways to confidently improve key relationships and effectively support independent learning and self-regulation. Aspects of risk are also included. Made in collaboration with David Whitebread of Cambridge University, the program presents current research and theories on physical play in a straightforward way.
