The Role of play in children's health and development

---

Play benefits all children, and has protective and preventative functions. Yet there is not a single, universally agreed definition of child health, nor of children's play. This makes insights from around the globe, highlighting the under-recognized link between the two, highly valuable. Theorists and practitioners evidence the healing power of play and positive health outcomes through interventions ranging from hospital clowning in Palestine, health promotion in remote Australia, playrooms in Brazilian hospitals, palliative care in South Africa, therapeutic work with neglected and abused Romanian children, to restoring children's health following natural disasters in Japan, and changes in nomadic communities in Iran. Early years and teenage play are discussed, and both physical and mental health and well-being. This wonderful collection aims to inspire further discussion and sharing of good practices.

Bermain bermanfaat bagi anak-anak, dan memiliki fungsi perlindungan dan pencegahan. Namun, tidak ada definisi tunggal yang disepakati secara universal tentang kesehatan anak, atau permainan anak-anak. Hal ini menjadikan pemahaman yang menyoroti bahwa ada hubungan diantara keduanya, sangatlah berharga. Para ahli teori dan praktisi membuktikan kekuatan penyembuhan dari permainan dan hasil kesehatan yang positif melalui intervensi mulai dari badut rumah sakit di Palestina, promosi kesehatan di Australia terpencil, ruang bermain di rumah sakit Brasil, perawatan paliatif di Afrika Selatan, pekerjaan terapeutik dengan anak-anak Rumania yang diabaikan dan dilecehkan, hingga pemulihan kesehatan anak-anak setelah bencana alam di Jepang, dan perubahan komunitas nomaden di Iran. Tahun-tahun awal dan permainan remaja dibahas, dan kesehatan dan kesejahteraan fisik dan mental. Koleksi yang luar biasa ini bertujuan untuk menginspirasi diskusi lebih lanjut dan berbagi praktik yang baik.
