Introduction
When children have the personal freedom to choose and make decisions about what and who they want to play with, as well as where they want to play, they are highly self-motivated and active in their engagements with everything around them. In this course, you will think about how you listen to children’s perspectives, why it is important, and also consider the choices children make about where they play, and why.
