Risky Play

Risky play refers to engaging in activities that involve some level of danger or challenge, allowing individuals, especially children, to explore their limits and develop critical skills. This might include climbing high, jumping from heights, or exploring unfamiliar environments. Such play fosters resilience, confidence, and problem-solving abilities, as children learn to assess risks and make decisions. While it may seem concerning to adults, controlled exposure to risk is essential for healthy development, encouraging independence and promoting physical, social, and emotional growth.
