*

the founding principles of playful research
*

understanding young children's perspectives
*

prioritising the rights of the child and the voice of the child

examples of innovative research methods

Real life examples and research projects are presented, to enable common challenges to be anticipated and to showcase successful creative approaches, and to inspire new paths in research.

Reviews for Research through Play: Participatory Methods in Early Childhood

Research about children’s lives should always include the child’s own voice. This book encourages students to think about what they can do to ensure a child is enabled to tell their story and how they view the world, offering valuable insights into what it means to be that child. -- Dr Caroline Leeson
