Understand power and identity in children's playRanging from princess play to gun play, The Power in Pretend questions and sheds light on the ways children play with ideas of power. Children's play often tells a story of power through the roles they choose to play: exercising power over, power with, or power for peers, adults, or phenomena from the wider world. Allowing and supporting these types of play, even when they may make adults uncomfortable, is key to fostering children's identity and agency.
