In this episode we speak with Dr Tom Clements, an Educational Psychologist, about the problems with withdrawing playtime from children and young people.
We discuss why teachers may resort to removing playtime and how they view this approach touching on a realisation that this can often be making the problem worst. We discuss alternatives to the removal of punishment that teachers themselves came to in the course of the project and think about why it is important that teachers reflect on this as a tool they use in the classroom.
