Safe…and sorry
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006
Safe…and sorry from Macleans highlights the importance of “risky” play for children. This kind of play is exactly why we moved out to the country.
It is also why I oppose any shortening of children’s vacation time - they learn as much by going out and playing as they do in school. It’s a different kind of learning but it is still very important for their development. I want my children to learn about risks, actions, and consequences when they’re still children, not when they’re 25.
