Parent‐Child Pretend Play Behaviours and Symptoms of Depression in School‐Referred Children
Pretend play is important for children's social and emotional development yet significant gaps in knowledge remain. Parent‐child pretend play of school‐aged children is largely overlooked, despite the key role parents play for children of this age. Furthermore, children's experiences of mental health difficulties, such as symptoms of depression, are rarely considered in relation to pretend play. More research is required to identify specific pret…
Does children's play and associated neural activity differ according to individual differences in social skills, social understanding, and social contexts
Performing Anti-Muslim Racism; Or, Muslim Self-Fashioning in Ayad Akhtar’s Plays
Ayad Akhtar claimed in an interview after a performance of his Pulitzer-winning play Disgraced that the play was about the ways Muslims “are still beholden on an ontological level to the ways in which the West is seeing us.” The point is for Muslims to free themselves from those networks of symbolic identification by reclaiming their voices and telling their own stories. The claim, then, is that the performance of Muslimness that Akhtar is initia…
The secular cleansing that wasn't
This article shows the religious iconography of Indian nationalism by observing the manner in which the defining text of the Hindu Right came to legitimize an unapologetically majoritarian nationalism. It revisits the history of the Indian independence movement through its architects' handling of the song "Vande Mataram" and its idolization of the nation as a Hindu goddess. Tracing its relevance to the hegemony of Hindutva in India today, the art…
How Do Children Play with Toy Trains and for What Benefits? A Scoping Review
Children play with different toys in different ways which may be associated with different developmental outcomes. While existing work has investigated different categories of toys, differences may also be present within specific toy categories. Therefore, understanding how specific toys promote play behaviours and their associated developmental outcomes has important implications for teachers, parents, caregivers, and researchers. To better unde…
A pirate goes nee-nor-nee-nor!” humor with siblings in middle childhood
Humor is a central feature of close and intimate relationships in childhood. However, fundamental questions regarding the relationship between humor production, pretend play, and social understanding have been overlooked. In a selected subsample from a prospective longitudinal study of first-born children ( N = 110, M age = 6.91 years, 46.4% female, 98.1% parents identified as English, Welsh, Scottish, or Irish), we conducted detailed observation…
Where’s your bum brain?” Humor, social understanding, and sibling relationship quality in early childhood
We investigated humor production in relation to social understanding and relationship quality in early childhood, by coding N = 72 5‐year‐olds’ ( M = 5.78, SD = .41) spontaneous humor production during play with an older ( n = 34; M age = 7.84 years, SD = .84) or younger sibling ( M age = 3.72 years, SD = .54). Children who demonstrated better understanding of minds also produced more humor (preposterous statements and humorous anecdotes, and sou…
Concurrent associations between mothers’ references to internal states and children’s social understanding in middle childhood
Although it is well established that features of maternal speech are associated with children's social understanding in the preschool years, few studies explore this relationship in middle childhood. Within the context of a prospective longitudinal study of a representative community sample of families (subsample n = 207, mean age = 82.88 months), we investigated concurrent associations between mothers' internal state language and aspects of 7-ye…
