Risk-Taking in Play: It’s Too Dangerous Not To

Risk-Taking in Play: It’s Too Dangerous Not To

With Guest Speaker: Sophie Cooper

Risk-taking provides some of life’s most empowering and educational experiences and is an innate part of children’s play. Coming from a play-work perspective this interactive workshop will look at how a risk-averse society has impacted children and childhoods, including our own personal comfort levels. Through discussion and practical group exercises participants will work to identify where and how children in their care can test their physical and emotional limits, while reducing the likelihood or severity of harm.
