Summary: "Play appears to be a very important activity for young children but why? What is going on? These are questions that developmental psychologists have asked and they have gone some way towards providing the answers. The programme examines the ideas of the psychologists Jean Piaget and George Herbert Mead. Through careful camerawork, it allows the viewer to take a close look at children at play in a Newcastle nursery school. Piaget believed that, up to a certain age or stage, children at play demonstrated their inescapable egotism - their failure to appreciate that there could be other points of view in the world beside their own. This theory is contrasted with that of George Herbert Mead, the American social philosopher, who saw play as a rich field of human action and interaction, with children not only taking on other points of view, but also creating both whole characters and worlds."
