Question 3

Handler Spitz, in quoting Jeanne Lampl-de- Groot, brings to mind the fact that this transitional phenomenon applies at least to Western Civilization (Spitz, 1982). Explain why you think this transitional phase and Winnicott’s resulting cultural ideas relating to ‘play’ and “experience’ are relevant globally or more relevant to Western culture only? AND how will this influence the way we apply this knowledge in a diverse classroom?
