The Power of Risky Play
”I would say that risk and risky play in particular is a vital part of our heritage. It is through our engagement with risk, or any unfamiliar or uncomfortable situation – in the context of play – that we learn how to use our bodies safely to interact with the physical and social challenges in the environment.”
