risk-taking in play

Risk-taking in play involves children engaging in activities that include potential challenges or minor dangers, such as climbing or exploring new environments. It helps them develop confidence, problem-solving skills, and resilience by learning to assess and manage their own safety. While some risks may lead to minor bumps or scrapes, they also promote independence and adaptability. It’s important for caregivers to monitor these activities, ensuring risks are appropriate for the child's age and abilities, so children can experience the benefits of managing risk in a safe and supportive environment.
