Childhood Studies explores how children develop from birth, how they acquire the ability to learn and think for themselves, and how their development is influenced by their families and the communities they live in. It explores topics from broad historical, psychological, and sociological perspectives and examines the
rights of the child in reference to the UN Convention. The Master's in Childhood

Studies is designed for a wide range of professionals working with children. A broad range of topics are covered and students are encouraged to critically reflect on their practice and address theory and research relevant to their own interests. Developmental and Therapeutic Play is an important aspect of provision across all Children’s Services in the UK and beyond. This scheme offers an exciting opportunity to study children’s play at an advanced academic level, combining demanding theoretical work with fieldwork experience and sophisticated reflection. The aim of the Masters in Developmental and Therapeutic Play is to deepen students understanding about the developmental and therapeutic potential of play. The programme considers how the environment and social interactions support children’s growing repertoire of play skills, with a particular emphasis on the inherent value of children’s self- directed play experiences.

Happy New Year to you all.

13 years ago, I set up this FB page when I started at Swansea University to teach on the MA Developmental and Therapeutic Play course. In July this year, I will be leaving Swansea University, and with it, I will close down this page. I have not gone yet, but to everybody who was on the course and still here, it was, and still is, a pleasure to have met you all.
