Young refugees from many parts of the world are increasingly present in UK early years settings. This book explores the crucial importance of play for young refugee children's development. It considers the implications of war and conflict on young children and notes how opportunities for play are denied. It provides a framework for early years practitioners to support refugee children and their families, offers practical examples of ways to promote play, and sets work with refugee children into the context of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The main argument of the book is that play is a healing experience for young children affected by war and conflict. Play can return to the children of conflict their lost childhoods.
