{"product_id":"9781529753455","title":"A Very Unusual Journey Into Play by Ben Kingston-Hughes","description":"Why do children need play?   ?  Play has the very real power to transform children's lives. It has a unique and profound impact on the neurological, emotional and physical development and wellbeing of children - from therapeutic play and overcoming anxiety, to positive behaviour, mental health and even life expectancy. This book brings together two hot topics - play and neuroscience - breaking them down in an accessible way and offering a new perspective and voice on the topic of play. Weaving theory and practical examples together, and based on over 30 years' experience of working with children, Ben presents a compelling argument that play is not merely an optional extra to childhood but a vital developmental process and one of the most important things a child ever does.?\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312593678709,"sku":"9781529753455","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781529753455.jpg?v=1762822863","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781529753455","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
