Description
'How to Respond Effectively to Children's Fascination with War Play and War Toys: Who's Calling The Shots?' carefully examines the positive developmental needs served by dramatic play--of which earlier forms of war play were a part--and contrasts them with the unimaginative, narrowly scripted play encouraged by today's merchandise-oriented children's TV and the accompanying highly specific war-related paraphernalia offered by the toy industry.
