"For all members of the Leave No Child Inside movement who are engaged with early childhood—as educators, child care providers, nature center staff, parents, landscape designers, or pediatricians—this book is an essential resource." Louise Chawla, Children and Nature Network, USA - - - What do children learn through playing outdoors? - - What makes an effective and challenging play space? - - What is a safe environment and can children be too safe? - - How can adults best support challenging play outdoors? Young children seek adventure and challenge in their play outdoors. They look for places they can explore and spaces they can transform. However, provision for exciting and challenging play outdoors is often restricted because of an over-emphasis on safety, and also because the value of play outdoors is not well understood. This book offers a clear rationale for why outdoor play is essential in young children''s lives and learning. It asks fundamental questions about what sort of environments we want for young children, as well as examining controversial issues of risk and safety. The author identifies key principles underpinning the design of challenging outdoor play environments and examines how children use and transform space to create their own imaginary worlds. The essential role of the adult in supporting and extending children''s free play is examined and implications for practice identified. This book makes an important contribution to current debates on risk, safety and challenge in outdoor environments for young children. It brings together research from a range of different disciplines, as well as illustrative examples of children''s play and talk outdoors. Playing Outdoors is inspiring reading for early childhood practitioners, students, play workers, parents, policy makers and all those seeking to develop challenging outdoor play areas.

Coaching and Trauma - Julia Vaughan Smith - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Why do coaches need to understand trauma? This book highlights the role coaches must play – and how it differs to psychotherapists – in supporting clients with trauma. A role that both enhances the coach''s skills and supports their clients’ personal development. Trauma isn’t an event, it is a lasting internal process through which the ‘here and now’ of life experience is affected by the ‘there and then’ of traumatising experience. Vaughan Smith provides a way to understand the internal process that affects all aspects of our physical and mental wellbeing. While providing an introduction to the theory of trauma, the main focus is on practical application within the context of coaching; distilling Franz Ruppert''s theory of the surviving self and the healthy self. Written for practitioners, this important text raises trauma awareness, addresses the ‘what if?’ questions many coaches have and provides a clear framework for implementation. Rarely do coaching or organisational development books address the very prevalent issue of trauma and yet this is something every coach will come across in their practice. “This book busts the myth that trauma has nothing to do with coaching, while underlining clearly how coaches can maintain appropriate boundaries. A real gift to the profession and absolutely essential reading for any coaching supervisor.” Paul Heardman, Leadership Coach and Coaching Supervisor “A clear, enlightening, practical book that is well-grounded in theory. ” Carolyn Mumby, Executive and Personal Coach-Therapist, Supervisor and Facilitator, Chair BACP Coaching Division “This is a book that coaching has been missing. From the first pages it’s clear that we are in safe hands as Julia guides us through a topic that is sadly still taboo for many coaches.” Helen Sieroda, Director Wise Goose School of Coaching “Necessary reading for anyone serious about coaching. It’s a profound book, and because it goes deep, it reveals fertile possibilities. It touches, evokes and - with great care - honours our necessary inventiveness.” Jonathan Gosling, Emeritus Professor of Leadership, Exeter University and co-founder of CoachingOurselves.com "This book should interest therapists and coaches. If not, they should ask themselves why. It is a magnificent fusion of Julia''s career as a clinician, manager, management consultant, therapist, coach and author.” Brian Lewis, Bellettes Bay Company, Tasmania, Australia “Essential reading for coaching supervisors and coaches. It has transformed my practice." Dr Louise Sheppard, Coaching Supervisor and Executive Coach at Praesta Partners LLP “A must for anyone wanting to take their coaching to another level.” Shirley Greenaway, Executive Coach, Head of Coaching at Management Futures
