I'm hoping that someone here with a background in education will be able to point me in the right direction on something.
I'm currently working on writing up some of a study of sustained breastfeeding. In this study some of the mothers described how their children "played" breastfeeding with their dolls etc. My interpretation of this is that the children are learning about breastfeeding via seeing breastfeeding and breastfeeding themselves and that this play is actually one way in which they are processing what they have learnt. Now I am sure that this process, ie playing out learning, is described in the educational/early childhood literature somewhere but I have no idea where to start looking. Can anyone help??
